When an interviewer asked Phillip K. Dick "What is the most important quality for a article writer to get?" he replied "A feeling of indignation... A article writer creates because it's his response to the globe. It's a natural process, like respiration... The capability for indignation is the most important thing for an innovative person. Not the cosmetic capacity but the capacity for indignation... And especially indignation at the procedure afforded other people. To see some of the things that 're going on on the globe and to feel indignant...This is the basis of the article writer." Whatever it was that stimulated his creative juices, we are the blessed beneficiaries, as shown in this collection of five tales, all first published in 1954. In "Exhibit Piece" a long-suffering museum worker becomes a touch too attached to his screen of mid-20th century lifestyle. In "Upon the Dull Earth" a man won't let go of his soul mate, and he creates a chain response that he couldn't have anticipated. In "Progeny" one man's notion of how to raise a child is challenged by new, more clinical techniques. "THE FINAL of the Masters" explores a post-apocalyptic world, where anarchists don't just occupy Wall Street, they occupy the entire planet. Finally, in "Breakfast at Twilight", a family group awakes to find theirs is the one house left on their street, and they are compelled to make the most important decision with their lives.
