For those of you who have not seen the movie recently, in the opening
credits, I believe it says that the movie is based on Dick's work. Since
Anthony's book is the novelization of the movie, it is based (albeit
indirectly) on Dick's story, "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale."

Someone drag their copy of Total Recal (movie) out and confirm, ne?
