Assessment comments

I removed the POV passage "The characters are more fully conceived than in most of Dick's writing, and there is a humanity in the book that makes this one of Dick's most affecting works". Cnwb 01:14, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

this movie seems to be connected: http://imdb.com/title/tt0477988/ and hollywood is going to do a remake. 195.214.216.6 21:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I changed "Ironically" to "Coincedentally" in the Sting trivia mention, because there really isn't anything ironic about it. Vaginsh 02:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I just went ahead and removed that whole sentence. Sting's song is a reference to the works of John Dowland, and has nothing to do with this book. -- Antepenultimate 17:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

FWIW "John Dowland" is a pen-name for P K Dicks. Pbhj (talk) 09:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Full Stop?

I noticed the cover of the book had a full stop after the title. Maybe this is the true title of the book and the title of this article should be changed with a full stop at the end? After all, it is in Good Night, and Good Luck..Parable1991 01:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Popular Culture?

The band Built to Spill has a song of the same title as Jason Traverner's hit song in the novel: "Nowhere Nothin' Fuckup" (on their album Ultimate Alternative Wavers). I don't really know if that would qualify it as a reference, but I think it's a little too close for coincidence.
