Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Dick's _The Man in the High Castle_, and _The Three Stigmata of Palmer
Eldritch_ are even better, in my opinion.   _High Castle_ is just plain
beautiful.  The book features the I Ching, and Dick supposedly actually
used it when writing the book: at points where the characters consult the
I Ching, he consulted it and used whatever came up to help determine how
the plot would go. =20

_Ubik_ and _Martian Timeslip_ are also good.
