Everyone can write ✍️, even if it's not as subtle, or little to no foreshadowing, no symbolism found in manuscripts. You can always write and that's what it's about. Keep writing and you will have a story, one day I'm sure, better than anything philip k. Dick has ever wrote... maybe besides A Darkly Scanner... and The Man in the High Tower.... okay, one more. Flow my tears the Policeman said. I'm done 😅😂
His stories were turned into films and TV that grossed $1 Billion. The author was poor his whole life. If his heirs didn't get a percentage its an outrage.
From what I have read he wasn't exactly poor, blew a lot on ket and other drugs - don't have a problem with that, and I certainly am not in anyway supporting the scumbags in Hollywood, just saying that he wasn't poor and did a whole load of things in his life that could of maybe handled a little differently
He also died before Blade Runner was even released, so that probably explains a bit of why he didn't see as much of the money from the movies that were adapted from his work -- he never was around to collect.
phillip k dick himself loved my comment...i. knew he was still alive!!!😁 thx4 these videos, truly one of the best, arthur c clarke is my only 1 ranked above him. although PKD short stories are usually better, Imao.
can you please explain the relation of this alternate version to the other audiobook of the story you have uploaded? this version has a good 20 minutes on the other; did dick rewrite the story?
I've only listened to the first 20 seconds of this so far; but this 'alternate' version would appear to be a reading of the actual story as it was published in 'The Philip K. Dick Reader' (the only published instance I have read). The other audio book on this channel I didn't recognise at all and after the first few lines were read I started looking for another, thankfully also on this channel.
I cant say for sure but i vividly remember many of the great sci-fi writers of the 1950s & 60s wrote multiple versions of the same stories so their work could be published in the many competing sci-fi magazines of the era ,many of Mr Dicks stories were also turned into radio serial storys with a 30 minute format such as X Minus One .
i would love to make a 8 part series aduptation set in around the 2030s but not with all the future jazz but to modernize it like spaceX trips to mars but there is a resistance on the planer they landed there shortly after the fusion revolution creation the partical highway between the planets. the characters i would def go for a more sterile new commer aproch so i could select the Clerk type job for Quale and prob change the names to make it an every man story but it would End with a what if wake up in the rekal chair but there are sub plots i want to try and actually expand it as a series with each one being a new telling of a the same narative but with diffrent era themes
A futuristic dystopia where billionaries set up personal colonies to exploit would be really on point, though I don't know who would finance and produce it, lol. And revolution on Mars is a recurring theme, remember the game series Red Faction? Can pull parts from there and from this story and make something that would be an opposite to the Martian, where they idealize life as a colonist probably going insane in years of cold isolation.
just like in the Running Man, the protagonist seems like anything but Arnold Schwarzenegger. More like a James Woods kinda guy, a plain guy, not a walking muscle machine.
They could've done a new movie that sticks closer to the source material, and Colin Farrell is a brilliant actor, "In Bruges" is him at his absolute best, he could've been an excellent Douglas Quail in a more grounded, thoughtful take of this story. Such a shame the remake of "Total Recall" was just a poorly written cashgrab that exploited the nostalgia of the 1990 movie and ripped off visuals from "Blade Runner" and "Minority Report" with extra lens flare instead of being more different and good on its own. Just call it "Rekall Inc." and do a damn good adaptation and movie. It was just pathetic to see Farrell running around repeating Arnold's lines in a lamer way and the film redoing moments from the 1990 film in a castrated PG-13 filter when they could've come up with their own stuff, what a waste.
My sentiment exactly, original movie was perfect for what it is, and didn't need a remake, instead they should have made another adaptation of the original story. Only good thing about remake was Kate Beckinsale, she's always good... and a few action sequences.

8yrs and still going, thank you brother.....
I read this a couple of years ago. It was in one of his short story books. I forget which one. I loved the twist at the end; it made me laugh.
Excellent, I wish I had this gift of writing stories.
Right

I forgot this ending, having watched it so many times. Great narration!
it's way ahead of his time

You can support PKD by going out and buying his books.

I love his work w all my heart
His works have provided wealth and security to his family with careful management and licensing of the material
He also died before Blade Runner was even released, so that probably explains a bit of why he didn't see as much of the money from the movies that were adapted from his work -- he never was around to collect.
his work is awesome
My favorite story is “Decending”. It’s in the collection called: “Fun with your new head”.
One of my favourite pieces that I wrote.
this guy had wonderful ideas
Hey old comment, but if you like this you should check out Alfred Bester, he's one of philip k dicks big influences.
awesome. ... incredible author, one of the best of the genre ...
phillip k dick himself loved my comment...i. knew he was still alive!!!😁 thx4 these videos, truly one of the best, arthur c clarke is my only 1 ranked above him. although PKD short stories are usually better, Imao.
The best by far.
Part of me likes to think that this story and Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep takes place in the same universe.
An iconic sci-fi story with an amazing adaptation.
The film 'Total recall' is based on this story I believe
there is nine hundred and sixty nine things that everyman and women should know and have.

Great story - great reading!
Glad you enjoyed it!
See ya at the party Richter!
WOW. Brilliant audiobook.
Well I gotta hand it to you "It's the best mind fuck yet ever."
Love the twist at the end
He looks a little like Jose Mourinho judging by that drawing!
Thank You Sir !
his best work I wonder where did he get the ideas to write these stories
Best science fiction writer ever
God gave him the idea
His dreams an other crazy versions

so much better than the movie
How is this an alternate version?
Not bad. I enjoyed this story.
I loved it.
very metaphysical
I‘ll be back!
good story
best work
What makes this one different?
Who is the narrator?
They could've done a new movie that sticks closer to the source material, and Colin Farrell is a brilliant actor, "In Bruges" is him at his absolute best, he could've been an excellent Douglas Quail in a more grounded, thoughtful take of this story.

That remake was garbage but I expected it to be garbage so I wasn’t too bothered.
I only saw it once & once only.
My sentiment exactly, original movie was perfect for what it is, and didn't need a remake, instead they should have made another adaptation of the original story. Only good thing about remake was Kate Beckinsale, she's always good... and a few action sequences.
Where’s Johnny Cab in 📕?
Matthew modine is the narrator
The basis for total recall

Total Recall :D
i want to be a science fiction writer

you have my permission!
WAKE UP. It's NOT "fiction". It's truth.
Your gay
Anyone know how this is an “alternate version”?
onebay1 thats what i was wondering. Did u ever find out??
LOSTCHILD SAB Not yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm thinking that is referring to another audio version from the first...? I don't think it's a different text or anything of that sort.
so no alien with 3 tubes? got it
"Total Recall"
😁😁😁😍😍😍😘😘😘😆😆😆😆😉
Having seen the movie 100 times, “Quail” is really bothering me lol
MORE PROOF OF SIMULATION THEORY:
MY gf just walked into the room and said they found a lake on Mars JUST as the character said Mars.

You're almost right - you're actually a character in a fiction I'm writing.
@@rtelkin2194you sound like a character i wrote 4 years ago
My name is not QUAID!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha.... You think this is the real Quaid... it is!
Mr Quaid, please try to calm down...
How the hell he gonna see some protozoa with the naked eye?
There is 1 IRL protozoan that can just reach size large enough to see. Lol but yeah
Oh how long to find an 😢😮😅😊😂🎉
@ 13:09 "kibbutzim".
total recall 2112
By the way, blade runner 2049 is total garbage and not related to anything dick wrote.
total recall 2012 was a better version
Frederick Allgood no it wasn't
Agreed , but the 80s one always has a place in my heart .
Stop moaning . At least somebody narrated this for our delectation. We are spoilt children , but at least,accept we are and appreciate the gifts ,
@@charlesachurch7265 whose moaning ?
Antonio Margheriti 1990
Rather read it for myself.
Thanks for telling us all about it.
