Synopsis

This volume of the classic stories of Philip K. Dick offers an intriguing glimpse into the early imagination of one of science fiction’s most enduring and respected names. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick’s work has continued to mount and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention as well as many films based on his stories and novels.

Featuring the story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, which inspired the major motion picture Total Recall, this collection draws from the writer’s earliest fiction, written during the years 1952–55.
