SF Authors as Future Sayers



I'm in SF Signal's Mind Meld today, along with other writers talking about which SF stories and novels got it right or wrong.

I chose 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' by Philip K. Dick which was published in 1968, and is set in 1992. How the future does fly.

  1. Sounds fascinating; I shall head over for a read. One of the few films that I preferred to the book, that one...

  2. Mighty fine article, Deborah. I too preferred the movie to the book. Reading The Last Policeman now, a near-future noir tale. Needs replicants.

  3. I'd like to re-watch the TV programmes I saw as a kid which told us about the gadgets and equipment they thought we'd be using in the future and see how right they were.

    1. Where's my flying car, Patsy. That's what I want to know?
