Just finished reading, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"
I really enjoyed it. Does anybody know any similair books that I would enjoy since I liked that? I've bought more Philip K. Dick books (Man in the High Castle and Ubik)
Lemme know.
Thanks

Might not be helpful but when I read this I was also reading Ballard at the time.
>>9269658
Ballard the author? What books would you recommend?
>>9269681
Yep. He dealt with futurism in a different way but I enjoyed reading it. Personal favourites are Crash, Atrocity Exhibition, High Rise, Drowned World. Like I said, it's different from what you read last but you might like it.
what in particular did you enjoy about it?

I liked the stripped down, minimalist prose.
I really liked the multiple narratives happening simultaneously (Deckard and Isidore)
I also really liked how immersive the world was. How every level and aspect of this constructed world played into the plot, whether it was the animals, or Mercerism, or even the radiation.
Overall, I really liked the immersion into the world of the novel

Parabhjot, He is with you.

well the obvious answer is to tell you to watch Blade Runner.
Aside from that, it's a bit hard to find shit similar to DADOES. Though it shares similar themes with DADOES, most of PKD's other work is totally different from it in tone and idea. I personally liked A Scanner Darkly a lot, but for reasons totally different from DADOES.
If I were you I would try to check around new age sf authors and those who influenced/where influenced by PDK and see what sticks. Looking into some of his other short stories, such as We Can Remember it For You Wholesale could also help.

Hm. Try The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and the Dispossessed.

seconding dispossessed.
Perhaps The Left Hand of Darkness, which imo is extremely successful at immersion.
