Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, a sci-fi anthology series, debuts on Amazon Friday, Jan. 12. The stories are based on the short stories of author Dick. There are ten episodes in the first season.
Says Amazon, “While the stories may be worlds apart, central to each is the poignant and warm exploration of the importance and significance of humanity. From five to 5000 years in the future, each compelling tale will both illustrate Philip K. Dick's prophetic vision and celebrate the enduring appeal of the prized sci-fi novelist’s work.”
Dick’s writing also inspired Amazon series The Man in the High Castle, which will begin its third season in 2018.
