I went into Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? blind. Hadn't seen the movie, hadn't read any other Dick, hadn't even had it hyped to me by a friend. What a series of mindfucks.
Lies, Inc. is another by PKD that will leave your head spinning.
I love pkd but haven't read that, thx.
The only Philip K. Dick I've read is Flow my tears the policeman said (epic title for a book). It's pretty linear and coherent until one point towards the end where, without question, 'ol Dick popped some acid.
If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won't really make a difference.
