About this eBook

Imagine a future where crimes can be detected before they are committed, and criminals are convicted and sentenced for crimes before committing them. This is the scenario of Philip K. Dick's classic story, now filmed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise.

In addition to MINORITY REPORT this exclusive collection includes nine other outstanding short stories by the twentieth century's outstanding SF master, three of which have been made into feature films.

This book is Not about "Minority Report" but a host of short stories by PKD including the above. The characters in modt stories are quite intresting and the plot begins energetically and with momentum, alas, many of the stories lack an actual ending, seemingly stopped before the whole plot unravels, while in other stories the ending bleak. It gives the impression that the writer was in a hurry, or indifferent to his own script midway. In addition, many of the so called SF facts lack imagination (3D TVs and videocalls are fine, but people with no means to communicate other than phone booths in the 21st century feels very last century). I certainly enjoy PKD's novels more.
