Publisher's Summary
Set in various dystopian futures, these stories explore such themes as time travel, artificial/alien intelligence, authority, knowledge and the use or control of it, memory, and the frighteningly malleable nature of what we call "reality."

"Reality questioned brilliantly!"
Philip K Dick is fantastic at weaving stories about what is reality, or what is living and what is not. These stories hit so many notes. Autofac - World is ended for humans (or is it?), and now the factories battle for resources. (Repeating why we go to war?) Electric Ant - Wow, are any of us really alive? Or just some experiment? Who knows! He will blow your mind.
The previous individual's review is horribly inaccurate. True, it's written long ago, but the ideas behind these stories each could make an episode of OUTER LIMITS, or even a Blockbuster Movie. Listen to the stories with an open mind, and understand what his reasons for writing them were.
I actually used Autofac as a 1st story read for my High School class.5 of 5 people found this review helpful -
"Not interesting enough"
I remember fondly some of the stories of Philip Dick that I read in my youth. However, I did not enjoy this collection. Maybe it was that the stories were written by Dick when he was still a young writer, maybe I have changed too much and no longer enjoy Dick as I used to. I did not finish this collection.
Some of the stories were also read by narrators that annoyed me.0 of 5 people found this review helpful -
"Extremely old-fashioned"
Written when robotics were poorly understood and greatly feared, ditto computers. The utter lack of subtlety in these stories became quite tiresome. Definitely doesn't stand the test of time. Utter waste of a credit.
