Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick contains 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 €œThe 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. €œAdjustment Team€ looks at the fate of a man who by mistake has stepped out of his own time. In €œAutofac,€ one community must battle benign machines to take back control of their lives. And in €œI 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 €œThe Minority Report,€ the basis for the Steven Spielberg movie, and €œWe Can Remember It for You Wholesale,€ the basis for the film Total Recall. With an introduction by Jonathan Lethem, Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick is a magnificent distillation of one of American literature's most searching imaginations.
