Electric Dreams is a short story collection by Philip K. Dick published in conjunction with the Channel 4/Amazon television anthology series of the same name. The collection gathers ten Dick stories, each preceded by an introduction from the respective television episode's screenwriter or producer.
The stories included are: Exhibit Piece (introduced by Ronald D. Moore), The Commuter (introduced by Jack Thorne), The Impossible Planet (introduced by David Farr), The Hanging Stranger (introduced by Dee Rees), Sales Pitch (introduced by Tony Grisoni), The Father-Thing (introduced by Michael Dinner), The Hood Maker (introduced by Matthew Graham), Foster, You're Dead (introduced by Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell), Human Is (introduced by Jessica Mecklenburg), and Autofac (introduced by Travis Beacham).
These stories span Dick's most productive short fiction period of the 1950s and early 1960s and represent several recurring themes: the instability of everyday suburban reality, Cold War paranoia, the question of authentic humanity, and technology's encroachment on human autonomy. The collection serves as both a companion to the television series and an accessible entry point to Dick's short fiction.
