Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams

Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams

The stories that inspired the original dramatic series.
Â
Though perhaps most famous as a novelist, Philip K. Dick wrote more than one hundred short stories over the course of his career, each as mind-bending and genre-defining as his longer works. Philip K. Dickâ€™s Electric Dreams collects ten of the best. In â€œAutofac,â€ Dick shows us one of the earliest examples (and warnings) in science fiction of self-replicating machines. â€œExhibit Pieceâ€ and â€œThe Commuterâ€ feature Dick exploring one of his favorite themes: the shifting nature of reality and whether it is even possible to perceive the world as it truly exists. And â€œThe Hanging Strangerâ€ provides a thrilling, dark political allegory as relevant today as it was when Dick wrote it at the height of the Cold War.

Strange, funny, and powerful, the stories in this collection highlight a master at work, encapsulating his boundless imagination and deep understanding of the human condition.
