Book Reviews of The Philip K. Dick Reader
Book Review: "Minority Report" is a preview of our future
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for one reason, and wasn't disappointed. My brother, a film producer, told me about the buzz around Dick's short story contained here, "The Minority Report." It's being made into a movie.The story goes like this: instead of arresting criminals after the crime, the Precrime unit analyzes data, predicts which people will commit crimes, and detains them before they commit the crime. It sounds outrageous, but think of how much better the "victims" feel.
I've only given away the first few pages, so don't worry.(...)
The Minority Report turned out to be a compelling, thought-provoking and realistic read. I kept going with the rest of the book, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
