I went into Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? blind. Hadn't seen the movie, hadn't read any other Dick, hadn't even had it hyped to me by a friend. What a series of mindfucks.
Lies, Inc. is another by PKD that will leave your head spinning.
I love pkd but haven't read that, thx.
If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won't really make a difference.
Valis is the best
The only Philip K. Dick I've read is Flow my tears the policeman said (epic title for a book). It's pretty linear and coherent until one point towards the end where, without question, 'ol Dick popped some acid.
