 Philip K. Dick was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1928, and for 30 years from 1952 until his death in 1982, had more than 40 novels published and wrote hundreds of short stories. As I mentioned, many of his works would be turned into films. Only a couple short stories, though, were adapted while he was still living. Well, two of his stories did make it onto X-1, and here's one of them. It's from May 22, 1956.
