Philip K. Dick
In "The Minority Report," a special unit that employs those with the power of precognition to prevent crimes proves itself less than reliable. This story was the basis of the feature film Minority Report.
In, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," an everyguy's yearning for more exciting "memories" places him in a danger he never could have imagined. This story was the basis of the feature film Total Recall.
In "Paycheck," a mechanic who has no memory of the previous two years of his life finds that a bag of seemingly worthless and unrelated objects can actually unlock the secret of his recent past, and insure that he has a future. This story was the basis of the feature film Paycheck.
In "Second Variety," the UN's technological advances to win a global war veer out of control, threatening to destroy all of humankind. This story was the basis of the feature film Screamers.
And "The Eyes Have It" is a whimsical, laugh-out-loud play on the words of the title.

The audiobook itself was strangely edited. aside from the first one starting at the beginning, the subsequent story start in the middle of chapters. There's also an unnecessary orchestral interlude randomly throughout some of the stories. The narrator was good though.

Good, but narration could use some help

But who in production quality checked the release? You get the five entries fine, then two additional tracks which are large, random chunks from two of the earlier works. The actual content is a good two hours less than labelled as a result.

That being said, I really enjoyed the actual material and am glad I listened to it. These stories were each the basis of successful movies; it is interesting to hear the original story, and compare it to its big screen adaptation.
Great stories...what was the sound editor smoking?

Please fix

My only complaint is that the chapters don't seam to be broken at the end of the stories.
Highly recommended.

I gave 4 stars because the formatting seemed to have an awkward transition to audible. I am sure this must have been intended as tapes or perhaps discs first. Music interludes and chapter breaks come at odd points rather than divisions between the actual stories.
A sci find classic that proves more fun than the movies
