Product Description:
Philip K. Dick was a master of science fiction, but he was also a writer whose work transcended genre to examine the nature of reality and what it means to be human. A writer of great complexity and subtle humor, his work belongs on the shelf of great twentieth-century literature, next to Kafka and Vonnegut. Collected here are twenty-one of Dick's most dazzling and resonant stories, which span his entire career and show a world-class writer working at the peak of his powers.

In "The Days of Perky Pat," people spend their time playing with dolls who manage to live an idyllic life no longer available to the Earth's real inhabitants. "Adjustment Team" looks at the fate of a man who by mistake has stepped out of his own time. In "Autofac," one community must battle benign machines to take back control of their lives. And in "I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon," we follow the story of one man whose very reality may be nothing more than a nightmare. The collection also includes such classic stories as "The Minority Report," the basis for the Steven Spielberg movie, and "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," the basis for the film Total Recall. Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick is a magnificent distillation of one of American literature's most searching imaginations.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Great Set of Stories I picked this up because I saw a few movies based on Philip K. Dick's work (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall) and wanted to see how the source material compared to the films as well as what else Dick has to offer. He is not a great author in terms of writing ability, but I don't think that is what he's famous for. His imagination and sense of the future is, however, unmatched. Predicting things like androids, nuclear apocalypse, and mind control drugs he defined the science fiction of the present. One wonders if some of things he thought of would even exist if he hadn't imagined them first. Very good set of stories that will give you a good idea of what Dick is about. I also suggest his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner) as more good science fiction reading. This book features the following stories: 1. Beyond Lies the Wub 2. Roog 3. Paycheck (Paycheck) 4. Second Variety (Screamers) 5. Imposter (Impostor) 6. The King of the Elves 7. Adjustment Team 8. Foster, You're Dead 9. Upon the Dull Earth 10. Autofac 11. The Minority Report (Minority Report) 12. The Days of Perky Pat 13. Precious Artifact 14. A Game of Unchance 15. We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (Total Recal) 16. Faith of Our Fathers 17. The Electric Ant 18. A Little Something For Us Tempunauts 19. The Exit Door Leads In 20. Rautavaara's Case 21. I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon + See Full Customer Review
