So this is the first short story I read from Philip K. Dick. Having watched the movie a long time ago and don't remember much of it, I came to this book with pretty much a clean slate regarding what to expect. From what I've already read from the author, this one is clearly the most accessible until now. To my knowledge, I would point it as a good entry point to the people out there interested in starting with Philip K. Dick's work.
Without spoiling the thing, it is fast-paced, the story doesn't drag, and I find the final explanation for the story quite logical and without any evident plot-holes.
The story could easily survive a longer format. Perhaps prolonging more the mystery about who framed the chief. And/Or investing a little more in all the character's background and on how the pre-cogs came to be.
Since it is so short, I can't find any reason for the sci-fi readers out there to don't read this book.
