Dick wrote more than one hundred short stories over the course of his career, each as mind-bending and genre-defining as his longer works. \u003ci\u003ePhilip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams \u003c\/i\u003ecollects ten of the best. In “Autofac,” Dick shows us one of the earliest examples (and warnings) in science fiction of self-replicating machines. “Exhibit Piece” and “The Commuter” feature Dick exploring one of his favorite themes: the shifting nature of reality and whether it is even possible to perceive the world as it truly exists. And “The Hanging Stranger” provides a thrilling, dark political allegory as relevant today as it was when Dick wrote it at the height of the Cold War. Strange, funny, and powerful, the stories in this collection highlight a master at work, encapsulating his boundless imagination and deep understanding of the human condition.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027036881136,"sku":"9781328995063","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781328995063_p0.jpg?v=1763708096","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781328995063","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
