The Minority Report

Book • 1956

In 'The Minority Report', Philip K. Dick delves into a future society where the Precrime Division uses precognitive mutants to foresee and prevent crimes.

The story follows John Anderton, the head of Precrime, who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy when he is predicted to commit a murder.

As Anderton navigates this complex situation, he uncovers the concept of a 'minority report', which challenges the infallibility of the Precrime system and raises questions about free will and the nature of justice.
