A Brilliant Short Story By PKD

Any additional comments?

For me, Philip K Dick's work is always hit or miss. This one was a hit.
I had never heard this story by Dick until now, and I am sure glad I stumbled across it.
As far as his short stories go, I would say this one is a close second to his best story, "The Defenders".

I really liked this one!

Phillip K. Dick can be hit or miss for me. I always believe he doesn’t go far enough, that he’s way to restrained.

This story I thought was absolutely great. It worked for me in all the right ways.
