Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams by Philip K. Dick
5.0
K. Dick's stories are great 'cos they're grounded in an "everyman" view where the people involved, usually bewildered and scrambling, aren't quite fully petty nor wholly heroic. I think that's what I love most about them.
Each story being introduced by some folks who made a filmed adaptation of said story was a fun framing, a way back in to exploring some more of this stuff I was entranced and creeped out by as a kid. And it was fun to watch the filmed versions after and compare (I've tended to like the written version more in all but one occasion - "Real Life").
Oh, and man... "Horizon: Zero Dawn" owes *a lot* to Autofac I think.
