The final volume in the definitive collection of stories by one of the greatest science fiction writers of the twentieth century.
Philip K. Dick was one of the masters of science fiction, and his short stories consistently broke new ground. His work has provided the inspiration for many successful films, including BLADE RUNNER, MINORITY REPORT, PAYCHECK and many more.
Here are his final short works, including the story which was the inspiration for TOTAL RECALL.
Also included is a selection of other astounding tales, often touching on Dick's most important themes. A man remembers killing his wife - but can he trust his memories? If you were to discover that you were an android, what experiments would you perform on yourself? A supercomputer decides to attack Northern California - can it be talked out of doing the job it was designed for? Can history rewrite itself?
All of these questions will be asked as you enter the world of Philip K Dick's remarkable imagination.
