Contains some mediocre stories, as well some downright odd ones ("Cadbury, the Beaver Who Lacked"), but also some bangers. The titular "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale", whose ending is radically different, and much funnier, than the Verhoeven film adaptation. "Faith of Our Fathers", which seems to presage some of the ideas PKD would explore in his VALIS trilogy. And "The Electric Ant", a classic PKD story about the nature of perception and reality.
