Show and books diverge here

The first season loosely adapts Philip K. Dick's only novel, but reworks it heavily. Much of the book surfaces early and the rest is spread out, so the season is best treated as covering the whole novel rather than a clean slice of it.

There is only one Philip K. Dick novel. Season 1 loosely adapts it (spread thin, with much of the book in the pilot and elements drawn out later), but the show departs from and expands well beyond the novel almost immediately, drawing on an unfinished Dick sequel and a large amount of original material across seasons 2 to 4.
