Electric Dreams

Philip K. Dick

Synopsis

The Stories Behind the Series 
Though perhaps most famous as a novelist, Philip K. Dick wrote more than 100 short stories over the course 
of his career, each as mind-bending and genre-defining as his longer works. Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams 
collects 10 of the best. In "Autofac," Dick shows us one of the earliest examples (and warnings) in science fiction 
of self-replicating machines. "Exhibit Piece" and "The Commuter" feature Dick exploring one of his favorite 
themes: the shifting nature of reality and whether it is even possible to perceive the world as it truly exists. And 
"The Hanging Stranger" provides a thrilling, dark political allegory as relevant today as it was when Dick wrote 
it at the height of the Cold War. 
Strange, funny, and powerful, the stories in this collection highlight a master at work, encapsulating his 
boundless imagination and deep understanding of the human condition.
