Summary: Entertaining Collection
Comment: While this is a reissue of an earlier publication, this story collection is an excellent first book for those new to Philip K. Dick, as I was. In his forward to this edition, Dick writes that good science fiction must offer the reader a truly new idea and "it must be intellectually stimulating to the reader; it must invade his [or her] mind and wake it up to the possibility of something [s]he had not up to then thought of." (The brackets are mine.)
If we accept Dick's definition of good sci-fi, then this is truly good. The collection contains no stories that are "bad," and many that are outstanding. My favorites include "The Skull," the "Infinites," "The Variable Man," and "Beyond Lies the Wub."
If you don't yet own a story collection of Dick's, this one would be a good place to start.
Rating: 1
Summary: WARNING! This is a reprint of an earlier work!
Comment: This collection was previously released as "The Short Happy Life Of The Brown Oxford" ISBN 0806511532. Don't be fooled by the new cover and title. It's being reissued under the title of the movie starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman. You probably already have the collection if you're a PKD fan. The 1 star rating is for the cheap attempt to get my money a second time.
