The fifth and final part of the complete collected stories shows Philip K. Dick at the very height of his outstanding powers. The twenty-five tales were written between 1963 and 1981, just a few months before he died, and include two stories which have been turned into box office smashes: the title story, filmed as Total Recall, and "The Little Black Box", which grew into his masterpiece Blade Runner.

This is the 5th book in the collection of the prodigious works of sci-fi extraordinaire Philip K Dick. This book includes the story that inspired the movie "Total Recall", that is, "We can remember it wholesale" and if you're expecting the literary version of the movie, its sadly a fragment of the actual movie story, but fascinating nonetheless. The books navigates the breadth of his latter work and its simply weird in places, and terribly mysogynistic. I found every second to third short story, however, to be simply and beautifully challenging to our concepts of the future, robotics an how we live in a futuristic world. Some truly terrible stories and some of the most compelling and thought provoking.
