PKD's Electric Dreams is a collection of the ten short stories that inspired the TV series of the same name. Each story also comes with a brief introduction from the writer who adapted it for the series which explains their thought process behind any changes they made. I haven't watched any of the TV series. I also haven't read many PKD short stories, so only three of the ten were familiar to me.

It is a decent collection of his stories. PKD expertise is not needed here. Enjoyment is available for sci-fi fans, PKD fans, and short story fans. Some of these stories fall more into the macabre/horror genre with a distinct Twilight Zone vibe than into science fiction. There is so much crammed into these short stories, aliens, telepaths, dystopian futures, space travel, body snatchers, and more.

I have only recently started reading PKD after a 20-year break. One of the first things I realized or remembered was that no matter how fantastical the story, or setting was, PKD wrote stories about the world as it actually is, and about people as they actually are.

This is a quote from the introduction by Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell to Foster, You're Dead.

"Phillip K. Dick's will always be relevant, because he saw the world and the people around him so clearly. He thought and wrote about humanity with extraordinary precision, and though the external circumstances are constantly shifting, these fundamental human attributes remain terrifyingly, beautifully stagnant. The cynicism holds up, but so does the empathy, and in the world of PKD, these two attributes go hand in hand, supporting and combating each other in equal measure.

Of course, he snuck all this in under the guise of pulp science fiction, baiting us into believing that maybe this is all just fantasy. Only once the story is over, and we take another look at the world around us, do we realize: It's all completely true."
