Abstract
A Scanner Darkly (1977), Philip Dick’s dystopian science fiction is a requiem for human identity. For Dick, the mutability of ‘identity’ and ‘reality’ equals the MacDonaldazation of society. In post-9/11 era, Linklater’s adaptation of Dick’s novel re-narrates the same paranoiac tension. The militant globalization augments the desire for solid identity; late capitalism fulfills this desire by manufacturing life-like simulacra. However, simulacrum means the death of identity and originality. Characters feel lost in the intertextual world where reality and identity turn experimental.
