An excellent and fascinating read for any sci-fi fan...
If you've ever read 'I, Robot' by Issac Asimov (or anything like it), this book should be required reading for you.

More Than Expected
I had seen this book on Amazon before and by-passed it, thinking that it would be little more than an anthology of dick stories, past and present. Do not make that mistake.

fun and educational: worth rereading
I chanced upon this at the library and read almost all of it in 1 sitting. Its that interesting. The real life examples given are eye openers. The next time I feel compelled to hyperorganize my receipts/coupons/desk I will weigh the time cost versus benefit. Right now I am recycling as many outdated/junk mail/etc papers as I can though so there wont be much of a mess to deal with.
