Then a year later he married Nancy Hackett, and his marriage with his fourth wife lasted from 1966 to 1972. This marriage would last until October 1965. His marriage to Kleo lasted 9 years, before he divorced in order to marry Anne Williams Rubenstein on April 1st, 1959. The following year, he married Kleo Apostolides in June 1950. In May 1948, Dick married Jeanette Marlin, but the marriage would only last until November of the same year. Philip K Dick would marry and divorce a total of five times in his life. When Philip was five, his parents divorced, and his mother raised him in San Francisco and Berkeley, California. Unfortunately, six weeks after birth, Jane died suddenly, and this created a profound effect on Philip’s life, resulting in what he describes as a “phantom twin” motif in his books. Both Philip and his twin sister Jane were born six weeks prematurely on December 16th, 1928 in Chicago, Illinois. Dick was a prolific science fiction writer who was born shortly before the Great Depression in 1928. PS: sorry for possible misspellings and that, Engrish is not my mother language.But who was this man, exactly? How was he able to write so much, and what kind of man would write this kind of vivid alternate reality science fiction? Childhood :)Īnd this answer in reverse (for other people): If you've read the novel you can give a chance to the movie, because the animation and some little differencies make it enjoyable without perverting the original idea. So I think that if you loved the movie you can give it a chance (or maybe you did it 2 years ago) to the novel, as it's a good way to complete some stuff exposed on the movie and you can read it in two or three days because is not a long book. Also, Luckman is pretty different, and Freck in the movie is the amalgam of various characters from the novel. Said that, I prefer the novel (I read the novel one day and watched the movie next day), because it goes beyond in some sequences, and made some passages more extended adding some interesting things, as for example with the scene of the bike gears, the car incident, or the part of New-Path, and some other stuff, including more philosophical thoughts of Bob/Fred, and, of course, more weirdo dialogues with the friends.




(view spoiler) [The movie is nice, specially for the rotoscopy animation, but is like a summary of the novel with some little exceptions and the variation on the plot twist.
