First of all, if you're already a huge PKD fan then you've probably already read everything in this collection, so decide accordingly. But even though I'd read a few of these, I picked this up on Audible and have been completely engrossed. Most importantly, you need to know that "Electric Dreams" is a TV series, each episode of which plays on a short story or theme by PKD, and this book is a collection of the 10 of PKD’s short stories that inspired episodes of the show, each introduced by the screenwriter who used that story as an inspiration. While I’d love to have read a little more about the episodes also, this is a great way to present PKD’s visionary stories and now I will have to go watch the show too. And even if you've read all the stories before, some of the screenwriters' thoughts and discussions about what stories they used and why and how they adapted them are quite interesting.

The stories are in many ways dated now (especially his portrayal of female characters - groan), but the overall ideas and messages are still startlingly relevant. Although it’s tempting to rush into the next story, because they’re all so good, it’s well worth pausing between each just to contemplate all the details and truly digest all the ideas. Despite already owning this in audiobook form I will actually be buying the book also, so I can reread and absorb in text format also.
