A review by kratositaly
Total Recall, by Philip K. Dick

2.0

After reading WE CAN REMEMBER IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, I can confirm that Philip K. Dick just ain't for me: there are interesting ideas in here about the fascination with fantasies and ambition, and how easily people can be manipulated and beguiled, but it ultimately does not amount to much and loses much of the ambiguity that made the first half engaging. The 1990 Schwarzenegger/Verhoeven adaptation actually delivers solid thrills and interesting themes, without losing the constant sense of doubt on what is real and what is just an imagined wish fulfilment.
