Book recommendation

This one is old school.

"The Minority Report" - Philip K. Dick

This is a collection of short stories that I picked up at Borders for about $16. THe Minority Report was, of course, made into a movie starring Tom Cruise but in this collection it is overshadowed by a number of better, shorter stories. "Waterspider" gets all existential and is a really, really nice self-examination and genre-examination piece. "Autofac" is a good story that works well if you know anything about the early 1950s.

There are many more. Overall, a worthy collection.
