About this title

About the Author:

More than 30 years after his untimely death at age 53, Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) remains one of the most celebrated authors of the last century and a looming and illuminating presence in this one. He was the winner of both the prestigious Hugo Award and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, which honor excellence in science fiction. Inducted in 2007 into the Library of America, which published a three-volume collection of his novels, Dick has received unprecedented recognition for his contributions to modern literature, specifically in the area of science fiction. His 45 novels and more than 210 short stories have been adapted into numerous films, including the blockbusters Minority Report, Total Recall, and Blade Runner, as well as Impostor, Paycheck, Scanner Darkly, Next, and The Adjustment Bureau.

From AudioFile:

Philip K. Dick holds a special place in the annals of science fiction. He is beloved by many for his strange reality-bending stories. The five stories included here are an excellent sample of his fiction. Most notable in the collection are "Minority Report," which supposes that psychics could be employed by the police to predict and prevent murder, and "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," in which a person goes to a shop to have memories of a vacation implanted in his mind, only to find that he's got some memories of his own. The no-frills presentation by Keir Dullea is perfect for the material. S.D. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
