The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick, Volume 2: Second Variety by Philip K. Dick, Norman Spinrad
5.0
I bought this because "The Hood Maker" was on TV and I wanted to read the original.
There's a ton of stories in here and I have yet to read them all; they're all pretty short so one or two now and then is good. I have found them all terrifically well written and thought-provoking. It is remarkable that they were authored in the 50s, but the issues he addresses are very topical - in particular he addresses Turing's ideas about intelligence and humanity in various very well reasoned ways.
Great, great stuff. A lot of SF I have tried has been awful to the extent that I bin it ... not Dick!
