Minority Report

A great concept that begged for a big screen adaptation. The story has a more cynical ending than the movie.

A very entertaining concept, I read this because it was said to be like Psycho-Pass, an anime I love. I need to read more sci-fi.

7/10

The Minority Report: 5 ⭐️. Imposter: 4 ⭐️. Kinda predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway. Second Variety: 4⭐️. Predictable too, but I liked it. War Game: 3 ⭐️. What the Dead Men Say: 5 ⭐️. Oh, to Be a Blobel!: 4 ⭐️. A bit predictable, but enjoyable. The Electric Ant: 5 ⭐️. Faith of Our Fathers: 1 ⭐️. Boring, I had a hard time finishing it. We Can Remember It for You Wholesale: 5 ⭐️.

Overall, I liked the collection. It's the first book I've read by Philip K. Dick and I don't think it'll be the last.

After finally reading the source material behind the 2002 movie of the same name, I have to say I really admire what the screenplay adaptation did.

Amazing story, very well written. I've never seen the film, but I understand it's different, more action-centered. Well, I like this version here. It's a novelette that reads a lot like a short story, with a great concept and a great deal of control where the author's concerned, since you just know the story feels and goes exactly like/where he wants it to.

So this is the first short story I read from Philip K. Dick. Having watched the movie a long time ago and don't remember much of it, I came to this book with pretty much a clean slate regarding what to expect. From what I've already read from the author, this one is clearly the most accessible until now. To my knowledge, I would point it as a good entry point to the people out there interested in starting with Philip K. Dick's work.

Without spoiling the thing, it is fast-paced, the story doesn't drag, and I find the final explanation for the story quite logical and without any evident plot-holes.

The story could easily survive a longer format. Perhaps prolonging more the mystery about who framed the chief. And/Or investing a little more in all the character's background and on how the pre-cogs came to be.

Since it is so short, I can't find any reason for the sci-fi readers out there to don't read this book.

Es incredible que esto sea un libro escrito hace 60 años.
Increiblemente visionario, con una buena trama, te hace pensar después de leerlo.

Ciencia Ficción clásica de calidad.

Shorter and more clever than the movie.

For once, I liked the movie better than the book.
