PKD was such a visionary that I can pretty much take whatever SF book/movie/etc from the last 40 years and link it directly to his work.

Although his books are hard to read sometimes, the ideas expressed in them more than makes up for the fuzzy/bad form in the which they are conveyed.

It hasn't been updated in a few years, but this site used to regularly take recent news articles and link them to story elements in Dick's stories: http://fraser.typepad.com/frolix_8/philip_k_dick/
