A Scanner Darkly
I've been meaning to read some Philip K. Dick for a long time, and given the impending release of the Hollywood blockbuster Keanu Reeves vehicle, I thought it'd be a good place to start.
Definately a product of the early seventies era in which it was written, but still holding plenty of relevant issues. Should be an interesting film - concepts of brain/identity separation and drug-induced paranoia will hopefully be handled in an experimental way - the trailer shows extensive use of a vectorising filter to create a graphic-novel appearance that looks pretty unique.
