Very Enjoyable PKD Short Story

Any additional comments?

There ARE better short stories by Philip K Dick out there but I still have to give this one a full 5-stars.

PKD is very reliable as far as sci/fi authors go. If you're familiar with his work, you really know what to expect before you even start with the story (and that's a GOOD THING). PKD almost always deliver an amazing original and imaginative premise/plot with his stories, whether it be a novel, or just a short story.

IF you have never read Philip K Dick before, although this is a great story, I would check out one of his OTHER stories first. My recommendations would be : "The Hanging Stranger", "The Defenders", or "Beyond Lies The Wub".

Philip at his... mediocrest.

If you love Philip K Dick, this is something you'll enjoy. But, it's not going to be the story that gets you into his world.
