Product Description
PAYCHECK, originally written as a short story by Philip K. Dick and first published in 1953, centres on an electrician who wakes up to discover his employer has erased his memory of the past two years -- as a security measure. When he tries to collect his paycheck, he finds he has previously signed a release replacing the money with a bag of random objects. Previous film adaptations of Dick's short stories have included the box office smash hits MINORITY REPORT, TOTAL RECALL and BLADE RUNNER, released shortly after Dick died in 1982.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than a Paycheck!!, 1 April 2004
By John Brown "fast = fun" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Backgrounder: I watched BladeRunner I then read 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep', the Philip K. Dick novel that the film is based on, and understood why the author was less than happy with the result. I thought I'd do the reverse with Paycheck, buy and read the book then see the movie.
The story is good, but imagine my confusion and subsequent surprise when at page 43 in the book, I got a brand new story to read!
My mistake was to take the title of the book literally, Paycheck is in the book, it's the first 42 pages, but there are some dozen or so other short stories also pre
