Yes, Piers DID write "Totall Recall"... however, the original idea was from a
short story by Phillip K. Dick entitled "We can remember it for you
wholesale". There are too many similarities between the two to ignore. The
novel by Piers is basically a novelization of the script, written about the
same time the movie was going into production.
That's the story, at least as far as I remember it... it's 6 am and I just
pulled an all-nighter painting the set for my next show, so my brain is a
touch fried. Night (or morning, as the case is)...
