The thing about those short story is that they were written to but food on his table. most of his early stuff reads like a really good Twilight Zone episode.

I read one of the short story volumes
It was shit
The same tergid post-apoc land scape with the same dull stories and same lame characters in every one
And all they were all misogynistic too. All the male characters hate their wives and 'hate taking orders from women' to quote one of the characters, women are presented as uniformly helpless and klingy and shrill, the one independent woman in any of the stories turns out to be a multiple personality disorder maniac drug addict & murderer

I found a similar collection of PKD Novels last week. Of the short stories of I've read:

Minority Report.
We can Remember it for you Wholesale.
and
Paycheck.

I thought they were all pretty good.

Can you link me to the short story collection you found?
