The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"The precogs sat in darkness and explored chill hinterlands of future crime. How infallible was their frightening gift of prophecy?"
In this, Mr. Dick’s newest novelette, there’s a chess game kind of suspense, and a glimpse of tomorrow astoundingly prophetic.
Excellent short story by Dick; hold on tight, the plot is sometimes hard to follow. This story served as the basis for the Spielberg film of the same name. Recommended.
Also, take a look at the remarkable tech showcased in the 2002 Minority Report (Movie) by Steven Spielberg.
