Bill’s Reviews > The Minority Report and Other Classic Stories > Status Update

Two more stories completed; What the Dead Men Say, a strange one about how bodies are stored in a stasis so they can be revived periodically as per instructions to spend time with family and one that went very badly. (3.5 stars)
The 2nd story was Orpheus with Clay Feet - a man bored with current life goes back into the past to inspire a writer and what happens. Very funny (4.0 stars)

Waterspider was neat, a time travel story where the future goes back to get Poul Anderson at a Sci Fi conference, which they call a precog conference and the troubles that occur when you fool with time travel. Many Sci Fi authors incl Dick himself make appearances.

If there were no Benny Cemoli deals with the great disaster and arrival of Centauron ships to discover who caused it and also propaganda from the New York Times.. Fascinating and short (4.0 stars)

Explorers We was short and ok.. 2.5 stars. War Game was an interesting one, as a team analyzes toys and games from Ganymede for tricks, double bluff on this one.. 4.5 stars

Recall Mechanism deals with a man afraid of heights & trying to get psychological help... oh after a nuclear war of course & The Unrestricted M deals with a robot murderer... both interesting (3.0 stars)

The title short story, the Minority Report wasn't as good as the movie, but then again, it was just a short story and the movie was fleshed mightily, still interesting though

Enjoying Minority Report so far.

The Mold of Yancy, a story about manipulation and maybe the fight against. 3.0 stars

Captive Market was a short one, interesting dimensional travel story. Not sure I totally got the ending.. 3.5 stars
