Back in 2021, I read a handful of Philip K. Dick books. I have always loved the movies that were based on them, but I was very surprised by the contents of the books. I found that he constantly derided women and portrayed blindly supporting the police, regardless of their intentions. I did enjoy the books overall, but I’m not as quick to praise him these days.
He was also deeply paranoid and delusional, since he was high on speed most of the time. Don’t see “blindly supporting police” in his works actually, any form of authority is usually portrayed of having bad intentions. Although his protagonists are often some form of cop, they are usually in conflict with their colleagues in some form.
