El cuento que más me gustó fue Aquí yace el wub, seguido (sin orden particular) por La calavera, Mr. Spaceship, Los infinitos, La paga, El Gran C y La niñera. This story convinced me of its reality the first time I read it, and sometimes, turning a corner, I think I see the Adjustment Team out of the corner of my eye, walking away—self-possessed, anonymous—having altered the time stream, slightly and forever, one more time.

However, as Anderton finds out, sometimes all three reports differ quite significantly, and there may be no majority report, even though two reports may have had enough in common for the computer to link them as such. In the storyline, all of the reports about Anderton differ because they predict events occurring sequentially, and thus each is a minority report. Anderton's situation is explained as unique, because he, as Police Commissioner, received notice of the precogs' predictions, allowing him to change his mind and invalidate earlier precog predictions.

Captain Franco, paranoid after an earlier confrontation with the Wub which left him temporarily paralyzed, bursts in and insists on killing and eating the wub. The crew becomes very much opposed to killing the sensitive creature after it makes a plea for understanding, but Franco still makes a meal out of him. At the dinner table, Captain Franco apologises for the "interruption" and resumes the earlier conversation between Peterson and the Wub - which now has apparently taken over the Captain's body.

I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane."

And she, of course, loved him at once, completely. He was just what she had hoped would come out of the little door.

The sun shone down on the damp lawns and sidewalks, reflecting off the sparkling parked cars.") but soon manifests its tendency for the surreal, with a shady character referred to as the Clerk and a sleepy, speaking dog whose job is that of a Summoner. Apparent members of the mysterious titular group, the two wait outside the house of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fletcher, carrying strict instructions from a higher authority to ensure that on this particular day Ed comes to his office building early. No sooner or later than 8:15 should the Summoner bark and call on a Friend With A Car to offer Ed a ride, but as one would expect from a plot introduction involving a character who is barely awake, something goes wrong: the dog falls asleep at the most precarious of times and barks a minute too late. Rather than a Friend With A Car, a Life Insurance Salesman rings the doorbell and talks with Ed for at least an hour. The Clerk and the Summoner are anxious over their mishap, while Ed is late to work. Some of the stories published in pulps are short novels (novellas) and were published as novels with or without additional text. For example, A. Lincoln, Simulacrum, published in two issues of Amazing (11/69 and 1/70) was later published as We Can Build You and All We Marsmen, serialized in three issues of Worlds of Tomorrow (1963) was expanded and published as Martian Time-Slip.

The Skull - 5 stars - I was really surprised that PKD's religious fascination started so early; I had gotten the impression this was a later phenomenon. Invariably, this is essentially PKD writing the "what if Jesus was a time traveler," but maybe not making it completely explicit. (I assume that's because of when he was writing.) The finale and everything ends up being pretty predictable, but there's still something fascinating in how it unfolds.

The experience of Ed Fletcher, who is, ironically, an real estate agent and husband of an equally jealous and caring wife, described in PKD’s short story Adjustment Team must certainly be mind-shattering but somehow he manages to also take it as reassuring, as probably most of us would. As a consequence of a dog’s barking too late, Ed Fletcher, one fateful morning, does not arrive at his office at the right moment in time and thus barges into the work of a mysterious Adjustment Team, whose task is to adjust reality to a benevolent ulterior plan of things. He not only witnesses the Adjusters at work, which in itself is already undesirable from their point of view, but he also will retain memories of what things were like before the Adjustments have been made, which makes him a threat to the obscure fixer-uppers and obliges them to deal with him.

The Gun - 3 stars - reads like a fairly standard sci-fi story. Not bad, but nothing particularly PKD here.
