===In fiction=== * [[Michael Bishop (author)|Michael Bishop]]'s [[Michael Bishop (author)#Philip K. Dick is Dead, Alas|''The Secret Ascension'']] (1987; published as ''Philip K. Dick Is Dead, Alas''), which is set in an alternative universe where his non-genre work is published but his science fiction is banned by a totalitarian United States in thrall to a demonically possessed [[Richard Nixon]]. * The short story "The Transmigration of Philip K" (1984) by [[Michael Swanwick]] (in the 1991 collection ''[[Gravity's Angels]]'') * In [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]'s 1971 novel ''[[The Lathe of Heaven]]'', whose characters alter reality through their dreams. Two made-for-TV films based on the novel have been made: ''[[The Lathe of Heaven (film)|The Lathe of Heaven]]'' (1980) and ''[[Lathe of Heaven (film)|Lathe of Heaven]]'' (2002) * In [[Thomas M. Disch]]'s ''The Word of God'' (2008)<ref>Disch, Thomas M. ''The Word of God''. San Francisco:Tachyon, 2008</ref> * The comics magazine ''[[Weirdo (comics)|Weirdo]]'' published "The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick" by cartoonist [[Robert Crumb]] in 1986.<ref>Crumb, Robert. "The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick," ''Weirdo'' #17 ([[Last Gasp (publisher)|Last Gasp]], Summer 1986).</ref> Though this is not an adaptation of a specific book or story by Dick, it incorporates elements of Dick's experience which he related in short stories, novels, essays, and the ''[[Exegesis (book)|Exegesis]]''. The story parodies the form of a [[Chick tract]], a type of [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] comic, many of which relate the story of an epiphany leading to a conversion to [[fundamentalist Christianity]]. * In the 1976 alternate history novel ''[[The Alteration]]'' by [[Kingsley Amis]], one of the novels-within-a-novel depicted is ''The Man in the High Castle'' (mirroring ''The Grasshopper Lies Heavy'' in the real-life novel), still written by Philip K. Dick.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/feb/10/alternative-history-butterfly-moments-reach-take-off-amazon-man-in-high-castle|title=What if?

Dick presents". The story also contains some other references to Philip K. Dick's body of work.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5579182/|title=Código 7|date=February 8, 2018|publisher=IMDb|access-date=July 21, 2018|archive-date=March 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312061943/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5579182/|url-status=live}}</ref> * In the 2022 web anime ''[[Cyberpunk: Edgerunners]]'', the character, Rebecca, has the words "PK DICK" tattooed on her right thigh.
