RE: A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick

This sounds like it would be a very good read for most people. It almost reminds me of a clockwork orange type vibe from what you describe. Am I off on that?

Sort:  

It's been so long since I saw (watched the movie) a Clockwork Orange. What I remember mostly is the violence. There is the psychological conditioning, but more than anything I remember the violence. There is not a lot of overt violence in this movie, or book. The violence is mostly self destruction caused by drugs.

Clockwork Orange was brilliant, no doubt, and also hard to take.

Thank you for giving me some more context. Appreciated.
