About this book

The fourth volume of the definitive five-book set of the complete collected stories of the twentieth century's greatest sf author covers a wide span, from late 1954 through to 1963. Those were the years during which Dick began writing novels prolifically and his short story output lessened. The title story of this collection is being made into a Steven Spielberg movie of the same name, while "The Days of Perky Pat" inspired one of Dick's greatest works, the novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldridge; The Penultimate Truth grew from "The Mold of Yancy". Philip K. Dick is shown at his incomparable prime in this stunning collection. Volume 4/5 contains: - Autofac (1955) - Service Call (1955) - Captive Market (1955) - The Mold of Yancy (1955) - The Minority Report (1956) - Recall Mechanism (1959) - The Unreconstructed M (1957) - Explorers We (1959) - War Game (1959) - If There Were No Benny Cemoli (1963) - Novelty Act (1964) - Waterspider (1964) - What the Dead Men Say (1964) - Orpheus with Clay Feet (1987) - The Days of Perky Pat (1963) - Stand-By (1963) - What'll We Do with Ragland Park? (1963) - Oh, to Be a Blobel! (1964) Other editions of this volume have the same stories, and were published under these titles: - The Days of Perky Pat - The Minority Report - The Minority Report and Other Classic Stories

About Philip K. Dick

Philip Kindred Dick was an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist whose published work during his lifetime was almost entirely in the science fiction genre. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works, Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his own life experiences and addressed the nature of drug abuse, paranoia and schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences in novels such as A Scanner Darkly and VALIS.
