Product Description

Product Description

This volume covers a wide span, from late 1954 through to 1963, the years during which Dick began writing novels prolifically and his short story output lessened. The title story of this collection has been made into the Steven Spielberg-directed movie of the same name, while "The Days of Perky Pat" inspired one of Dick's greatest works, the novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch; The Penultimate Truth grew from "The Mold of Yancy". Philip K. Dick is shown at his incomparable prime in this fourth volume of the definitive collection of short fiction.


About the Author

SALES POINTS * 'A fitting tribute to a great philosophical writer who found science fiction the ideal form for the expression of his ideas' The Independent * "My literary hero" Fay Weldon * 'An elusive and incomparable artist' Ursula K. Le Guin * "No other writer of his generation had such a powerful intellectual presence. He stamped himself not only on our memories but in our imaginations" Brian Aldiss

4.0 out of 5 stars More brilliance from PKD, 28 Jul 2005
By Matt Gibson (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
Some of Dick's novels are my favourite books, but short stories were where he truly excelled. The whole five-part series of his Collected Short Series is brilliant, and this fourth installment doesn't disappoint. You can really see a progression between the short stories and some of his later novels that drew inspiration from them.

The neat freak in me is slightly annoyed that the cover is completely different to the others in the series though, especially when it's only been done to tie in with the film.

A great book to dip into now and then when your brain is too tired to digest an entire novel!

4.0 out of 5 stars A stunning display in short storytelling by Mr. Sci Fi !!, 16 Nov 2000
The fourth installment of Philip K. Dick's collected short stories 'Minority Report' continues to display how Dick's talent at short storytelling has developed. This collection showing his short stories from the period of 1954 - 1963 may not have been his best, as Dick was concentrating at the time at creating his best selling sci-fi novels, but it does not lack any of the imagination and wit which has been a trademark in earlier collections.

This collection contains the title story 'Minority Report' which has been made into a movie by Steven Spielberg, plus several other better known works such as 'The Days of Perky Pat' (the original title of this collection in it's first published form and which was further developed into another novel by Dick later on!) and 'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich' which was also released as a novella.

In all a great example of how Dick's style has grown and adapted to the trend of SF writing over the years. A true master at his art!!

N. Brown
