There is good writing, it's just not welcome at major studios. Hollywood is for $$$$. Indie is for art. They seem to be mutually exclusive.

        As a young guy, he was more of a genre and habit for me.
        
        Read most of his books and any short stories I could get my hands
        on by the time I was 24. Much of it was OOP until the 80's. The Quest
        was thrilling. More was released posthumously. And more. And more.

        More influential to my life POV than any amount of drugs or alcohol or
        various other addictions I've survived and/or enjoyed and/or exploited.
        
        I LIKE H.G. Wells - I became addicted to PKD.
