My favorite part was during Minority Report when a female character's bare breasts "bobbed angrily."
Tits as mood detector? The future is an amazing time.

Okay, that was much better than the previous two novels of Dick's that I listened to. I suspect he was better at short-form fiction than long-form, so from now on I'll stick to short stories and anthologies by him.

I listened to this on audiobook and I think that in this case, it really detracted from the stories told. The twists and turns that are throughout were hard to follow via oral narration.

Lots of fun to see the original stories behind Minority Report, Paycheck, and other movies. Geez this guy is brilliant.

4. I liked them all, but I think Paycheck is my favorite.

Maybe the best sci-fi ever... Wish I could read it again for the first time

3.5 stars. This was a really solid collection of stories and I enjoyed them all. They are the basis for a number of movies...though I've only seen 2 of the 4 movies. Admittedly...I actually like the movies better...but these short stories were all solid and a good listen.
