    Philip K. Dick

    Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.

      Really great short stories! Most have common themes or Mars, etc. Many famous movies have been made from these short stories.
    • 3/5
      I've been told that PKD's best work appears in his stories. Doesn't seem correct compared to High Castle and Electric Sheep, both of which are just about perfect. About a third of the collection, from the period when PKD started to get truly weird, is worth is. But I've no interest in getting a picture of his whole career. Avoid the early stuff. Start halfway through, if you must.
    • 4/5
      The handful of Dick's stories I've read were great, and I really have to find the time to read more.
    • 5/5
      Really excellent. Some stories seem a little naive and not well developed but there are also some real gems. Great recording.
    • 5/5
      I came across this book during one of my daily emailings from Book-Bub. The cost was $1.99 which to my mind is a bargain for any Phillip K. Dick novel. I could not even find this title in Goodreads. The forward is written by Jonathan Lethem. I tried cross-referencing but to no avail.

      A fabulous collection. Some of the great stories: Adjustment Bureau, Minority Report, Electric Ant and others. Phillip Dick is one of the great sci-fi writers. Fantastic descriptions of a dystopian future, life on and off planet, lots of speculation about Mars, time travel (and time scoops) - chases, hide and seek and more time travel.

      For those who love science fiction this is a selection you will want to read, probably more than once.
