Viewed by many as the greatest science fiction writer on any planet, Philip K. Dick has written some of the most intriguing, original, and thought-provoking fiction of our time. This collection includes stories that will make you laugh, cringe...and stop and think.

In "The Minority Report," a special unit that employs those with the power of precognition to prevent crimes proves itself less than reliable. This story was the basis of the feature film Minority Report.

In, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," an everyguy's yearning for more exciting "memories" places him in a danger he never could have imagined. This story was the basis of the feature film Total Recall.

In "Paycheck," a mechanic who has no memory of the previous two years of his life finds that a bag of seemingly worthless and unrelated objects can actually unlock the secret of his recent past, and insure that he has a future. This story was the basis of the feature film Paycheck.

In "Second Variety," the UN's technological advances to win a global war veer out of control, threatening to destroy all of humankind. This story was the basis of the feature film Screamers.

And "The Eyes Have It" is a whimsical, laugh-out-loud play on the words of the title.

Great short stories, really good narration, but the sound editing is......bizarre. The chapters do not in any way align with the actual stories, so it is hard to find where the next story begins. (for instance, Chapter 4 is 31:04 long, but the third story "Paycheque" begins at 16:40) To make matters worse, there are occasional random bits of music, but not in any consistent way. It is just so weird and I really can't fathom how this exceptional science fiction was released in this bizarre format.

That being said, I really enjoyed the actual material and am glad I listened to it. These stories were each the basis of successful movies; it is interesting to hear the original story, and compare it to its big screen adaptation.

Great stories...what was the sound editor smoking?

I enjoyed the program. It is a selection of his notable short stories or novellas.

The chapter divisions do not correlate with the individual stories and make it very difficult to navigate. Everything is fine except that glaring issue.

Please fix

This book contains several stories of various lengths. "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" is the basis for the "Total Recall" movies and with "Paycheck" they are worth the 5 star rating. For original, and intriguing fiction Phillip K. Dick is the Grand Master.

My only complaint is that the chapters don't seam to be broken at the end of the stories.

Highly recommended.

I had read some of these many years ago. I never really liked the way the Dick developed his characters but his ideas--his IDEAS--were and are amazing. That is why so many movies have been made of these stories, sometimes changing the story lines significantly (as in Minority Report) but retaining the central ideas. So, I think the book is a good listen for that reason, plus Dullea does a good job.
