Disappointed
I love Philip K Dick but the narrator was not what I expected. Get the book for this one. Read it yourself.

Some of the best science fiction stories
I had never heard of PKD until a few weeks ago and now I’m a huge fan.

A great collection with a few low points.
Performance was fantastic and most of the stories are classics. a few of the shorts I was unfamiliar with. Only one of the works in this failed to hold my attention. A must have if you're a Heinlein fan.

Amazing writing and a fitting narrator!
I've read older sci-fi, but Philip K. Dick is as good as any! Besides his stories being thoughtful, they can also have a fair bit of action.
The narrator really brought the stories to life. It was hard to stop listening to an unfinished story and sad when it was over.

Unfortunately mediocre
Coming off the back of do androids dream of electric sheep, time out of joint and Ubik, all three of which I really enjoyed, this collection was just a bit boring for me. There are one or two stories in here that I enjoyed, but by and large they’re missing something that his novels have.
The narrator also wasn’t my favourite, and I have started to realise how much of an impact that makes on the book itself.
