A magnificent theme.I wonder where PKD gets his ideas from!Adjustment Team has the makings to be an even better book that 'we can remember it for you'. But, the slightly 'less-than-awesome' climax lets it down a tiny bit.The 'Old Man' is the almighty overseeing force. He makes subtle 'adjustments' to the Earth whenever required.To make the adjustment, the section is de-energized and the adjustment team enters to make the necessary changes.Due to a little clerical error, Ed Fletcher enters his office while it is being adjusted.This forms the background of another masterpiece from PKD.The book moves at breakneck pace until the very end when it falters a little.But I promise you, the 43-page story provides a splendid roller-coaster ride. I don't see have they can credit Philip K Dick as a writer for the movie that is based off this book. Basically the title(maybe) and a concept that a group is "adjusting" your fate. None of the characters are the same and the plot is completely different. The basic concept of the storyline does inspire some thought and reflection, which is a good thing. I like books that make me think even after I am done reading them. I may have like this better if I hadn't seen the movie first.
Really intriguing premise. Well-fleshed out, especially for how short a story this short story is.
