Abstract

The work of Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) has now the attention of academic criticism. This has increased the studies on this author’s works. This critical interest may be caused by the adaptation of his novels and short stories, which is also the reason for Dick’s current great diffusion. In this paper we are going to analyze the creation and representation of the city in Dick’s literary texts and their subsequent adaptation into films. We aim to compare the impact that each media has in the shaping of urban space, paying a special attention to variations due to the imitation of current Hollywood cinema topics.
