Though hailed during his lifetime by peers such as Stanisaw Lem, Dick received little public recognition until after his death, when several popular film adaptations of his novels introduced him to a larger audience.

Dick occasionally used the pen name Richard Phillips. · Can we improve this biography? Write us your version
