This is a very nice collection of PKD's early stories from 1954 to 1964. As I'm completing my PKD library, this will definitely take a place there. I can see PKD's early fascination with capitalism and his visions of late-stage forms. It's a bit funny to read about union representatives being portrayed as evil guys and socialism depicted as some version of hell. However, I understand that this is a product of his time, and his stories are nevertheless amazing. Among the eighteen collected stories, these are the ones that stood out the most:

"Service Call": A very interesting horror story. What if you agree to get something that can completely ruin your life? It had a nice "Man in the Black" vibe.

"The Minority Report": The namesake of this collection is quite different from the movie itself (which I saw first). It was a bit darker than the movie, with a rather bleak ending. I liked it, but it wasn't the strongest story in the book.

"The Unreconstructed M": This was a very atmospheric (almost horror) story. The plot itself was a bit weak but masterfully implemented.

"Explorers We": This felt like something from The Twilight Zone. A very simple premise of alien impostors not even being aware of themselves being impostors.

"What Dead Men Say": I think this was the best story in the collection. The whole idea of a voice from the stars emanating from the dead, almost god-like Louis Sarapis, was amazing. Was it the mad babbling of a strong individual with goals set in motion even after his death, or is it something else? Very chilling.

"The Days of Perky Pat": This is about the danger of Barbie dolls. It's a very good story, and I really enjoyed PKD's commentary from the notes.

"Oh, to Be a Blobel!": This was a nice variation on common human problems and the ridiculousness of war. Very blobery.
