Selected Short Stories

This collection gathers science-fiction stories Philip K. Dick published mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. Typical plots involve counterfeit worlds, implanted memories, weapons that outgrow their makers, commuters who slip into other realities, and officials who cannot tell human from replica. Settings are suburbs, offices, colonies, and postwar cities under vague authority. Several pieces turn on whether perception can be trusted. The volume is a set of independent tales, not a novel cycle, and it shows Dick's short fiction rather than his later theological novels.
