Philip K. Dick was one of the most incisive, subversive, and entertaining authors of the last half of the twentieth century, and he remains a distinct voice in the American film landscape. A diverse range of filmmakers filmmakers including Ridley Scott, Paul Verhoeven, Steven Spielberg, and Richard Linklater have all expanded, extrapolated, and diverged from Dick's fiction in order to translate Dick's powerful and challenging insights on to the screen in a visual and yet still literary form. Future Imperfect aims to gauge exactly how well the cinematic adaptations of Dick's work have captured his unique vision of the human future, and how deeply Dick's storytelling abilities have influenced the development of science-fiction films from Blade Runner on.
