This episode we step back into the mind of Philip K. Dick as we discuss his semi autobiographic novel, A Scanner Darkly, and its 2006 adaptation by Richard Linklater. This novel explores paranoia and identity crises against the backdrop of drug culture in California and is brought to surreal life thanks to the rotoscoped animation of the film. We've got plenty to discuss this episode, from the absurdities of policing to the novel's fascination with nipples, so step into your scramble suit and give it a discrete listen!
