Memories are real

Philip K Dick is a smart sassy writer and his short stories are ideal for film. But book versus film is always going to be a futile question. They are different. Get over it. They can both be great. Both be bad. One great and one bad.
What interests me is how your anticipation or retrospective memory are slightly different for each of these forms. How we feel about the experience is important to whether we react positively or not. It is the same with memories. If we had a bad experience with something we are unlikely to want to repeat it and yet the facts of the experience may or may not support whether it was good or not. So, TripAdvisors, how do you rate your trip to Mars? Was it a good holiday, a nightmare or a bit of both? Can you trust your memory? Are you Arnold Schwarzenegger or Colin Farrell? Are you both and someone has tampered with your memory? We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.
