The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick
Police Commissioner John Anderton is the founder of the Precrime System, which predicts, arrests, and jails criminals before they actually commit their felonies. Unfortunately, Anderton is predicted to be the next killer. Is he guilty? The only way for him to know is to steal "the minority report", the one hope of finding out the truth.
This short story is the basis of the Tom Cruise movie of the same name. As usual, the movie has made the main character 10 or 20 years younger, made him the second in command, and changed basically the entire plot. I DID NOT like the movie, but maybe that is because Cruise annoys me to death. As for the book, if you like science fiction, it's a good story. I'm not a huge fan, so I can't say I loved it, but it was interesting. *** Average Stars
