Sales Pitch by Philip K. Dick:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Marvelously caustic short story describes a world in which advertising and sales was relentlessly performed by autonomous robots. Dick was repulsed by what marketers today call "interruption style" advertising and he lets them have it with both barrels in this story. Select
an invention:
Commute Ship Spacecraft used for traversing daily grind between Earth and the planet you work on.
|
Hypno-Motor Control A means of controlling the body remotely, cutting off the need for local control (ie, by your mind).
|
Visual Ad An advertisement that forces its way directly into the brain of the viewer.
