A book by Philip K. Dick that's like a bizarro version of a cop story, this cop is also a junkie, and he ends up giving up his life to take down a bunch of sleazy drug dealers who run safe houses for f***ed-up junkies. The book is a total mess, but that’s why it’s so good.

Just read 'A Scanner Darkly' and I feel like I took a hit of sub-D myself.

Dick’s book is like a junkie’s diary, messy, real, and full of f***ing pain.

I tried to read 'A Scanner Darkly' and now I think I’m the drug dealer.

A f***ing weird animated movie with Keanu Reeves as a cop who’s also a junkie, living in a future where 20% of the people are f***ing brain-dead from this drug called sub-D. He’s trying to find the dealers, but he’s so high he can’t tell if he’s the junkie or the cop.

That movie 'A Scanner Darkly' is like a hit of sub-D in movie form.

I watched 'A Scanner Darkly' and now I think I’m a brain-dead junkie in the future.

Keanu Reeves in 'A Scanner Darkly' is like a f***ed-up cop who can’t tell his own side from the bad guys.
