Though perhaps most famous as a novelist, Philip K. Dick wrote more than 100 short stories over the course of his career, each as mind-bending and genre-defining as his longer works. Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams collects 10 of the best. In "Autofac," Dick shows us one of the earliest examples (and warnings) in science fiction of self-replicating machines. "Exhibit Piece" and "The Commuter" feature Dick exploring one of his favorite themes: the shifting nature of reality and whether it is even possible to perceive the world as it truly exists.

Heckard is a bounty hunter tasked with finding and tracking down A.N.D.R.O.I.D.S, also known as Apparently Non-Detectible Representations Of In-Disguise Sasquatches.

After a solid tip, Heckard heads to Seattle to interview a potential bigfoot using the notorious Butt Vamp Test. It all starts as a routine procedure, but it’s not long before Heckard finds herself falling for this beautiful opera singer who may or may not be a sasquatch.
