With the technology to delve through time, “dipping” into the future has been strictly forbidden, but an unorthodox experiment operating outside of government protocols breaks this taboo. Determined only to view the future without altering it any way, they hope to avoid the disastrous consequences that wading into the future is said to bring about. Philip K. Dick was an American science-fiction novelist, short-story writer and essayist. His first short story, “Beyond Lies the Wub,” was published shortly after his high school graduation. Some of his most famous short stories were adapted for film, including “The Minority Report,” “Paycheck,” “Second Variety” (adapted into the film Screamers) and “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” (adapted into the film Total Recall).
