Favorite stories were “The Electric Ant” and “Faith in Our Fathers” ( ) I appreciate that Dick is building a world here and exploring it in the same way as Asimov does with his robots, but many of the stories felt a little same-y. However, one has to remember that this was written a long time ago and the concepts Dick was creating here have begun to become part of our real world, either in fact or accepted possibilities and that maybe just robs the book of it's "shock and awe" factor a little. All of that said, plenty of good material in here and well worth a read. This is the third collection of short stories I've read by Dick in the last couple of months, and I remain impressed at how good most of them are! I've described them before as "Twilight Zone" sci-fi, and that's how these roll out, especially "Explorers We"! And I love all of the themes/issues that are dealt with on these pages - post war stories, propaganda, time travel, anti-government, anti-war, etc.. The story "Autofac" makes me think of what Amazon.com might be headed toward! And, of course, I really enjoyed (again!) "The Minority Report"! Also, as a Bay Area resident, I loved the mention of so many local towns and locations, especially the city directly to my north, Petaluma! The longest story in here, "What The Dead Men Say" was my least favorite, and four of the last six in the collection didn't really do much for me. But the last story, "Oh, To Be A Blobel!" ended the book on a high, high note! Still, I do want to know, what is a swibble? geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A collection of eighteen science fiction short stories features "The Minority Report," in which Commissioner John Anderton's clever use of "precogs," people who can identify criminals before they can do any harm, turns against him when they identify him as the next criminal.
