Commissioner John Anderton's clever use of the Precrime System, which uses "precogs," people with the ability to see into the future, to identify criminals before they can do any harm, is confronted with a serious glitch when his precogs identify Anderton himself as the next criminal and he must race against time to save himself. 25,000 first printing.

Philip K. Dick was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California. He briefly attended the University of California, but dropped out before completing any classes. In 1952 he began writing professionally and proceeded to write thirty-six novels and five short story collections. He won the Hugo Award for best novel in 1962 for The Man in the High Castle and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. Philip K. Dick died of heart failure following a stroke on March 2, 1982, in Santa Ana, California.
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.
A film version of The Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, will be released this summer further proof of the enduring appeal of Philip K. Dick's visionary fiction.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En el mundo de 'The Minority Report', el Comisionado John Anderton es el responsable de la falta de crimen. Él es el creador del Sistema Precrime, que utiliza 'precogs' (personas con la capacidad de ver el futuro) para identificar a los criminales antes de que puedan hacer daño. Desafortunadamente para Anderton, sus precogs lo perciben como el próximo criminal. Pero Anderton sabe que nunca ha contemplado tal cosa, y este conocimiento prueba que los precogs son falibles. Ahora, gire hacia donde gire, Anderton está condenado, a menos que pueda encontrar el 'informe minoritario' de los precogs, la voz disidente que representa su única esperanza de llegar a la verdad a tiempo para salvarse de su propio sistema.
