Movie is Better than the Short Story


I read the short story and, it's ok but I prefer the movie. The story's ending was crap and confusing and very bizarre

What the short story. Where can I find it?

Most PKD stories are light on narrative in my opinion; I suspect they're better known for their revolutionary ideas rather than skillful execution.

No, they're well known for the broad themes and human issues they dealt with. PKD wasn't an entertainer. He didn't mean to be John Woo or *beep* Spielberg, his stories were meant to illustrate a larger point, that's why they are well known.
