"Drama On 3 – Bring Me The Head Of Philip K Dick Sunday 8 March 8.00-9.30pm BBC RADIO 3 Since his untimely death in March 1982, Philip K Dick's work and influence has extended beyond his wildest dreams. Dick's work has been seized upon by Hollywood and his ideas taken up by writers, artists and thinkers. Now award-winning Gregory Whitehead takes him, or rather his android head, on his most unexpected adventure yet. Inspired by the last novels of Philip K Dick (VALIS, Divine Invasion), Whitehead tracks the lost, frubberized, android head of Philip K Dick as it creates chaos across America. The head's journey takes listeners from the suburbs of Boston to a dark cave in the Holy Land, leaving a number of dead fish and wrecked nervous systems in its wake. It is a darkly disturbing, at times surreal, fantasy exploring shadowy corners of the modern American psyche. Invented by a secretive research unit inside the Pentagon, the android head, which thinks it is the real head of Mr Dick, uses its ability to slip through tears in the fabric of time in search of the rest of its body, while a unit of the Department Of Homeland Security puts out the emergency message – Bring Me The Head Of Philip K Dick. Producer/Mark Burman"

And really, was Phillip K Dick that horny? I mean, considering its power to translate time zones and contemplate infinity, it does an awful lot of perving! Still, quite good in a weird way. Kind of reminds me of something Radiohead might do spread over an hour and a half.....
