It took longer than expected to finish

Currently I'm reading another Phillip K. Dick story: Man in the High castle. He was a genius and a favorite author of mine. He wrote about things most of us never consider in the way he considered them. He truly wanted to know several things: what is real? What is Human? Will the world decay?
It's a shame that he didn't he didn't realize the rewards of his work while he still lived. But that applies to many of the world's great artists. Hollywood mad many of his stories into box office hits: Total Recall, Blade Runner, Minority Report, Screamers, A Scanner Darkly, and one of my favorites: Paycheck, and many more.
