Judge Epithetical Books The Minority Report

3.75 stars for this 1956 SF short story, the inspiration for the 2002 Tom Cruise movie. Commissioner John Anderton is the creator and head of the Precog unit that is responsible for nearly eradicating serious crime. He's nearing retirement (think "bald and fat and old," not sexy guy) and is showing his new assistant, Ed Witwer, around the office. They visit the area where the three precogs - described as gibbering idiots, deformed and retarded monkeys (yes, you can certainly tell this was

The action of The Minority Report is based on the question: What would you do if you were accused of a murder you had not committed yet? Philip K. Dicks The Minority Report focuses on a society with virtually no crime; however, people can be guilty of precrime. Precogs predict the future and punishment is meted out before any harm can be done to society. This novella is more developed than PKD short stories Ive been reading or at least it is more focused. This was a quick read that I enjoyed.

Fantastic short story from Philip K. Dick. I was actually surprised at how much I liked this, as I'm not normally a huge reader of short stories and I know Tom Cruise was in the movie adaptation. But it was very engaging and quick paced. I'll need to read more of his shorts, if this is any indication of the quality. Who would have expected the short (view spoiler)[story from Philip K. (hide spoiler)]Dick to be so good? While I did see that climax coming, it was still very satisfying.

Wow, this was surprisingly bad. The movie was pretty terrible, so I assumed that the short story had to at least be somewhat better... I was horribly wrong.First of all, this was so fucking boring that I stopped reading TWO PAGES FROM THE END. It was so terribly dull that by the time I got to page 18, the number of fucks I gave had actually dipped into the negative range and I just could not continue.I'd like to keep this short, so I'll list the things that sucked about this story:- 20 pages

I was tasked to read this book for my science fiction lecture, as we discussed what is free will. Apparently my lecturer was not a fan of itThe discussions were interesting as we discussed both the film and the book, as they examine that maybe we don't have free will and how everything in our life is predetermined for us. Which then brings us the philosophical question on what it means to be free...Which I do not have the time or interest to get into, sorry.My personal thoughts is that I find



3.5 starsThis short story collection started really strongly, but then there were a couple of bad ones in the middle, and then it ended with a couple of good ones
