Minority Report (the short story version)

My Comments:
I watched the movie version of this story first. Then one day at the library's science fiction section, I stumbled across this unique looking small, narrow, top-bound, vertical hardcover book that flips vertically (you flip open the pages from the bottom like those old school notepads). Of course, I recognized the title by the movie, but it was the unique physical traits of this particular version of Minority Report that intrigued me. Even some of the pages are printed in a creative way. Philip K. Dick's stuff is never dull. 

This is in short story format, not the typical novel length. If you like collecting unique looking books, this is one of them. Don't mistakenly get the other printed versions, make sure it looks like this one and is hardcover.

Summary:

In the world of The Minority Report, Commissioner John Anderton is the one to thank for the lack of crime. He is the originator of the Precrime System, which uses "precogs"--people with the power to see into the future--to identify criminals before they can do any harm. Unfortunately for Anderton, his precogs perceive him as the next criminal. But Anderton knows he has never contemplated such a thing, and this knowledge proves the precogs are fallible. Now, whichever way he turns, Anderton is doomed--unless he can find the precogs's "minority report"--the dissenting voice that represents his one hope of getting at the truth in time to save himself from his own system. - (from the inside flap)
