Electric Dreams (Volume One) is a collection of ten science-fiction short stories among which: The Commuter, Exhibit Piece, The Hood Maker, The Hanging Stranger, and Autofac.

Similar to Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick is considered one of the masters of science-fiction and his works of paranoid fiction and philosophical fiction have become classics of the science-fiction genre. That is why, wanting to expand my knowledge regarding this literary genre, I decided to pick up Electric Dreams.

Unfortunately, I haven't much to say about my experience reading Philip K. Dick's collection of short stories so this review is going to be extremely short. This is mostly due to the fact that, as I was reading Electric Dreams, I realized that I wasn't able to connect with his writing style, with the stories (to the exception of Exhibition Piece and The Hood Maker), the characters and the worlds which led me to DNF the book at page 138.

However, what I thought was really interesting were the prefaces (given at the beginning of each short story) written by the screenplay writers who adapted this stories for the 2017 Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams TV show. It was fascinating to be able to see what was in their minds when they chose to work on a specific short story and the creative process behind it all.
