Philip K. Dick's short story The Minority Report was first published by Fantasic Fiction in 1956. I read it as part of Dick's 2002 collection The Minority Report and Other Stories.
The Minority Report tells the story of a dystopian future where serious crime has been all but erradicated. Police use mutants with pre-cognitive abilities to catch criminals before they commit a crime.
Have you read this story? What did you think? Join the discussion on Twitter @shortSFreview.
I'm not getting as many of these episodes out as I'd like due to the fact that I'm currently deep into editing my novel As the Gravity Flipped - the first book in a trilogy called The Slip. Hopefully, I'll have more news on that soon.
In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter @jlcronshaw or find me on Goodreads and Facebook (Jon Cronshaw).
