Dick’s 1962 novel of the same name. You can watch the series on Amazon Prime streaming.The series was launched initially as part of Amazon Studio’s pilot program. Every year Amazon commissions pilots and releases them for the public to watch and review. A number of these pilots are picked up for production as full series and released through Amazon’s Prime streaming service.  The Iconography of WWII is used to great effect in the series, though Amazon got into some hot water in their advertising campaign which smattered this iconography around New York. This optics issues may be in line with the cultural concerns addressed by Agness Kaku in her Op-ed.The book is available on Amazon and most major booksellers. NEXT WEEK: Jules’ pick Stories We Tell.______________________You can follow us on twitter @newtoyoushow and you can leave comments down below!You can follow John on twitter @lordjohoYou can follow Jules on twitter @beautifuljules​ You can check out Keith’s art on his tumblr earthlingkeith.tumblr.com This is a public episode.
