   I don't know how many of you have read anything by PKD? Namely 'Do Androids   
   Dream of Electric Sheep' and a few other of his earlier books/shorts.   
       Personally, I don't consider his writing to be CP.. but I think it had   
   quite an influence on future writers the the CP genre. What does everyone   
   else think? Ironic though, I'd say Blade Runner is one of the definitive   
   cyberpunk movies out there today, to me at least. And the year after his   
   death, Gibson won the PKD award with Neuromancer..
