Though the story was different to the movie, I still had the problem were I kept seeing Anderton as Tom Cruise and that didn’t help the enjoyment of this book. But thanks to the mastery writing of Philip K Dick, I did manage to get past this small issue and enjoy the book. Like the movie, the book explores the issues of identity and free will, but to a lesser extent it explores the issue prophecies; if you are told you will do something in the future, do you end up doing it (even if you never had any intentions in doing it).

Philip K Dick is the master of writing fiction that makes you ponder life during and after reading one of his stories. Should you be arrested for a crime you haven’t committed, yet? The Minority Report may not be my favourite Dick book but it stands strong against all his others.
