We Can Remember It for You Wholesale
This volume of the classic stories of Philip K. Dick offers an intriguing glimpse into the early imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's work has continued to mount and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention as well as many films based on his stories and novels. Featuring the story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, which inspired the major motion picture Total Recall, this collection draws from the writer's earliest fiction, written during the years 1952-55. Also included are fascinating works such as The Adjustment Team (basis of the 2011 movie The Adjustment Bureau), Impostor (basis of the 2001 movie), and many others. "A useful acquisition for any serious SF library or collection." --Kirkus Reviews "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --Wall Street Journal "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe-inspiring." --Washington Post

Douglas Quail is tired of his boring, meaningless life. He has always dreamt of going to Mars, so he decides to do the next best thing and visit Rekal, Incorporated, a business that guarantees you memories of things you've never done. Things take a turn when it turns out Douglas' dreams of going to Mars and being a secret agent have already happened and the mundane life he exists is just a cover. "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" is a short story dealing with memories, consciousness, technology, and human experience. While the first few pages were the biggest (and only) inspiration for the 1990 and 2012 films Total Recall, this short story is clever, easy to digest, and a great introduction to science fiction.
