Expericing some topic-drift here, but just let me put in that
it's been my belief that Dick's post-WW II alternate
historical novel wherein the Axis powers win, THE MAN IN THE
HIGH CASTLE, is <very> cinematic, rather more so than
DO ANDROIDS DREAM, in fact. The Bester novel you cite would
also make a swell flick, so sez I.
