How many Hollywood films have been adapted from Philip K. Dick's stories?

The answer

Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) wrote 44 novels and 121 short stories, and his work has been adapted into more major Hollywood productions than almost any other science fiction author. Blade Runner (1982) came from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Total Recall (1990) from 'We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,' Minority Report (2002) from the short story of the same name, A Scanner Darkly (2006), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), and the Amazon series The Man in the High Castle (2015–2019). Dick died on March 2, 1982 - just months before Blade Runner premiered. He saw early footage and reportedly wept, saying it was exactly as he had imagined. Over a dozen of his works have been adapted, earning billions collectively at the box office.
