On his way home, Ed Loyce stumbles across a dead body hanging from a street light. He wants to get to the bottom of it - but strangely, no one else seems to care. This story was written by science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick and was adapted into a TV episode of 'Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams' in 2017 (A show based on 9 of his short stories). Movies such as Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Totall Recall, Minority Report and The Adjustment Bureau, among several others, have all been based entirely on Philip K. Dick's books. He died in 1982 at the age of 53, but in the 40 odd years since his passing, his work continues to inspire science fiction writers and film makers to a profound degree. This week's story 'The Hanging Stranger', explores dark themes of societal oblivion and corporate control that are remarkably relevant to today's world in so many respects.
