Which PKD Story Are We In Today ?
The Hood Maker - "It's not 1692, it's 2008. Santa Fe needs to embrace this technology, it's not going away."
Radio Free Albemuth - "Perhaps our politicians really don't realise how despised they are, as a class..."
Second Variety - "What do you do with a robot armed with a million-round-per-minute gun? "Crowd control," naturally."[ And yes, it does appear to be branded 'iRobot'. ]
The Simulacra - "That apparently has already proven to be quite successful in preliminary tests, with those simple responses able to "elicit a range of emotions in humans."
Now Wait For Last Year - "Avcen says that 75 of these in London could relieve road traffic of 37,000 return car trips per day all the while keeping things quiet and requiring only short landing strips made of pavement or grass."
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ? - "The so called ‘RelaxTV’ system will reportedly measure your blood pressure and body temperature, quite possibly using its new range of underwear, to gauge your current state of being before adjusting lighting around the screen to complement it. There will also be sound and rumble feedback available through a specially designed chair, which adds a whole new dimension to the experience."
The Mold of Yancy - "You have to pinch yourself to read the press just a year ago to grasp this edifice of self-delusion."
