A Scanner Darkly

This is, without doubt, one of PKD's strongest novels, and the buzz about a film has been around for over a decade (it's one of those projects that is optioned and sits, like Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End.

For all my fan-dom-ness, I'm not going to bother seeing this. The various positive reviews describe it as a whacky head trip, a zany comedy, etc. The book is about control and paranoia, and although it's darkly :) humourous, it's not a "zany" comedy. Add to that the silly looking rotoscoping (or equiv. technique), and that's it--Netflix, maybe.
