{"product_id":"volume-iv-the-minority-report","title":"Volume Iv: The Minority Report","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science fiction. His many stories and novels, which include such classics as \u003ci\u003eUbik\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\u003c\/i\u003e, reflect a deeply personal world view, exploring the fragile, multifarious nature of reality itself and examining those elements that make us—or fail to make us—fully human. He did as much as anyone to demolish the artificial barrier between genre fiction and \"literature,\" and the best of his work has earned a permanent place in American popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Minority Report\u003c\/i\u003e is the fourth installment of a uniform, five-volume edition of The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick. This generous collection contains 18 stories and novellas written between 1954 and 1963, years in which Dick produced some of his most memorable work, including such novels as \u003ci\u003eMartian Time Slip\u003c\/i\u003e and the Hugo Award-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Man in the High Castle\u003c\/i\u003e. Included here are \"Autofac,\" a post-apocalyptic tale in which humans share the devastated Earth with the machines they have created but no longer fully control; \"The Mold of Yancy,\" a portrait of a world reduced to bland conformity by the vapid—and ubiquitous—pronouncements of a virtual demagogue; and \"The Days of Perky Pat,\" another post-apocalypse story in which Earth''s survivors find temporary solace in the Perky Pat game, a game rooted in the images and memories of a world that no longer exists. Finally, the classic title story, filmed by Steven Spielberg as \u003ci\u003eMinority Report\u003c\/i\u003e, posits a future state in which the \"Precrime\" bureau, aided by a trio of pre-cognitive mutants, arrests and incarcerates \"criminals\" for crimes they have not yet committed. Like its predecessors, this extraordinary volume is a treasure house of story, offering narrative pleasures and intellectual excitement in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre audio","offer_id":46418068308178,"sku":"9781480595156","price":73.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_dfbf8adb-8ce3-47a4-a361-eee4dcf2d953.jpg?v=1762812550","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/volume-iv-the-minority-report","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
