I've only watched the first episode so maybe these complaints are addressed but I'm sort of disappointed that Electric Dreams is falling into the common trap of treating PKD as cyberpunk.

Saying PKD wrote cyberpunk is like saying DEVO made dubstep. PKD's work has important things in common with cyberpunk, but (particularly in terms of tone and style) it's so different that it *should* be impossible to confuse the two unless you've only heard second-hand descriptions.

I blame Blade Runner. Blade Runner isn't cyberpunk but it *is* technoir, and technoir is the part of cyberpunk that PKD's actual work has the least in common with. But Blade Runner is also not Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It has about the same relationship as Devil May Cry has with Dante's Inferno.

@enkiv2 as much as total recall is we can remember it for you wholesale

i had high hopes for the king of the elves but looks like it's vaped

@gracie That said, Total Recall at least *feels* like PKD wrote it. (The Arnold one, not the remake.) People focus in on the M Night Shamalan shit, but PKD's real calling card is bizarre twisted in-jokes like asshole robot cab drivers. The parts of Minority Report that felt the most like PKD are the big-lipped alligator moments.
