DESCRIPTION:
Dick (1928-1982) was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science fiction. This wide-ranging collection contains 26 stories and novellas from the extraordinarily productive years of 1952 and 1953, along with extensive story notes. He did as much as anyone to demolish the artificial barrier between genre fiction and "literature," and the best of his work has earned a permanent place in American popular culture. His many stories and novels, which include such classics as The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, reflect a deeply personal world view, exploring the fragile, multifarious nature of reality itself and examining those elements that make us - or fail to make us - fully human. Adjustment Team is the second installment of a uniform, five-volume edition of The Collected Stories of Philip K. Included here are "The Cookie Lady," an account of a young boy whose relationship with a lonely widow results in a bizarre act of transformation, Second Variety (filmed in 1995 as Screamers),
"Little in common with the movie, but a decent story for the price." according to Richard Mansfield. I was fortunate enough to get passes to see The Adjustment Bureau tonight, which is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's story "Adjustment Team." Five minutes before we were to leave for the theater, I read on IMDB that the movie was based on this story. I reached for my Kindle, and ran a se. It's Phillip Dick W. Fogle If you have never read P.Dick this is a good start. One can see the fine line between madness and genius in his works. But I find his ability to tangle a story tremendous, READ THIS STORY!!!. Adjustment team Russ92 Weird but in a sense a good weird. The author did great on the suspense because I had no idea where this was going. GREAT read.
