It's been a while since I saw the movie version of this short tale by Philip K. Dick, but I now have it on order from the library so that I can watch it again. Although it's been 13 years since I've seen the movie (starring Tom Cruise), I recall it well enough to know that it is quite different fr...
I'm not an old, crusty sci-fi fan who read this when it came out in '56. No, I'm a neophyte who only knows about The Minority Report because of the 2002 movie version. It's hard not to associate this solid, yet too short short story with that blockbuster flick starring Tom Cruise......and I'm not ev...
Narrated by Keir Dullea 3.1 out of 5 stars Read in August 2013 Once again I find myself loving and hating PKD's writing. He created and imagined very intriguing stories and ideas. I just don't always agree with his buried (sometimes not so subtly) political ramblings. I liked the title story, ...
only 112 pages, so I hesitate to give it the 5 stars the actual tightly-written prose deserves... 112 pages = very long short story? or very short novel? a 'novella' I suppose... in any case, length seems to be the only criterion calling for less than full honors.Minority Report turned into a Tom Cr...

His reading was clean, and his voice was pleasant. All of the voices for his characters were different, and he coped with acc...
I have never seen the movie starring Tom Cruise, so my first exposure to this story is Philip K. Dick's story. I see that this thing was first published in 1956, right at the end of Stalin's reign of terror in the Soviet Union, and right during McCarthyism in the United States. Maybe I have commun...
this is a book of his earlier short stories. some of them are pretty good, others just alright. i've never read him before and i suspect he's better to read in a collection of lots of authors - i found reading him all at once to be pretty repetitive. i guess if you are familiar with him and other...
Since this book is comprised of many short stories by Dick, I'll review each of the ones I read. I'll base my rating upon the general consensus of Dick's work rather than an individual story. Minority Report: This short story was pretty good. I saw how the story was the underlying idea for the movie...
