In reading these wonderful stories by Philip K Dick, I am reminded why I don't like short stories in general. They are like delicious candy, delightfully enjoyed and immediately forgotten. I simply need to spend much more time with characters to remember them. So, my only recollection of these stories is that I enjoyed nearly all of them - and most had an unexpected twist at the end (although others were a little more predictable). The other thing that struck me was the incongruences that sometimes mark science fiction - incredibly far out visions combined with anachronistic anomalies. For example, one story that took place in the "future" with individual space travel also still had typewriters and carbon paper.
Recommended for all short story and/or science fiction fans. For the few that don't know this, PKD's stories have been the basis for such movies as "Minority Report" and "Total Recall"
