Summary
Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science fiction. His many stories and novels, which include such classics as Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, reflect a deeply personal world view, exploring the fragile, multifarious nature of reality itself and examining those elements that make us - or fail to make us - fully human. He did as much as anyone to demolish the artificial barrier between genre fiction and "literature," and the best of his work has earned a permanent place in American popular culture.
We Can Remember It for You Wholesale is the final installment of a uniform, five-volume edition of The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick. This expansive collection contains 27 stories and novellas written between 1963 and 1981, years in which Dick produced some of his most mature work, including such novels as Ubik, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, and A Scanner Darkly. Among the many pleasures included here are the classic title story (filmed twice as Total Recall), in which an ordinary clerk, awash in resurrected memories, discovers the truth about his past and about the astonishing role he has played in human history; the Hugo-nominated "Faith of Our Fathers," with its bleak and controversial vision of a predatory deity; and "The Electric Ant," a brilliant embodiment of a classic Dick theme: the elusive - and changeable - nature of what we believe to be "real." Like its predecessors, this generous volume offers wit, ingenuity, and intellectual excitement in virtually every second. The best of these stories, like the best of Dick's novels, are richly imagined, deeply personal visions that no one else could have written. They're going to be around for a very long time to come.

Some interesting, some not so, stories
If you are looking to listen to some short stories, with perhaps a Sci-Fi tinge then this may be for you
I purchased as I knew who PKD was, and decided to listen to some of his short stories
I'm not really into fiction books , and this audio book hasn't made me decide to increase the amount of fiction I read(listen) to

Very good
Last two stories killed me. Dick is usually valued for his ideas, but I really like his humour.

I've always been a fan of P K Dick's books. This collection is my first of his audio books though.
If you're a fan, you'll pretty much know what you're going to get. Wonderfully written yarns, slightly tragic, hilariously funny and wholly enjoyable.
What really makes it for me is David deVries narration. It's superb, his range is amazing and his delivery is so funny when it's called for. I'll definitely be looking for more P K Dick stuff and more David deVries too.
