Is he reunited with Jane? What does Merlin do to help the Director? What happens to Miss Hardcastle, Wither, Frost, and Lord Feverstone? We invite you to read Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly, which Melissa and Nick will be covering next. This near-future dystopian novel is set in a U.S. where the war on drugs has been lost and everyone lives under constant, high-tech surveillance. Is this even fiction? This novel is readily available at your local library, or to purchase. It promises to be a quick and easy read. An audiobook is available on Amazon’s Audible, and the novel was turned into an adult animated sci-fi movie in 2006 by Richard Linklater, in a process where the film was shot digitally with actors including Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr., and then animated over, frame by frame. It should be quite easy for you to absorb the novel in some fashion. After A Scanner Darkly we’ll cover Christopher Priest’s Inverted World, in which Priest explores the relationship between space and time. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction writes, that it “remains one of the two or three most impressive pure-SF novels produced in the United Kingdom since World War II.” Dialogue Copyrighted CTTM - Jan. 3, 2026 (Exempting Bumper Music) *LISTEN / DOWNLOAD Podcast links: Nick Heys - Heys Reviews | |
