All three of these books explore themes that PDK would later go into in more depth. They are obviously early works and show signs of that. But I still found them unputdownable and, as they are so short, I read each of them in a day.
PDK was way ahead of the game with his ideas, even if the nitty gritty of how the technology he imagined back in the 1950s would work seem naïve or even laughable to later generations. Computers in the 21st Century being fed by spools of tape? But then how many of us could have foreseen floppy disks, pen drives or CDs back then?
Whether it's imagining alternative moralities for a future society or exploring time paradoxes ("Dr Futurity"), the nature of a totalitarian state ("The Man who Japed") or else the dangers of Artificial Intelligence ("Vulcan's Hammer") the three books in this collection still set up questions that are relevant today.

Three Early Novels: The Man Who Japed, Dr. Futurity, Vulcan's Hammer ペーパーバック – 2000/9/14
英語版
Philip K. Dick
(著)
At the beginning of his career, Philip K. Dick, whose later work won him widespread acclaim as the world¿s greatest sf writer, wrote a number of short novels which were published as paperback originals back-to-back in dual volumes with works by writers who were then more famous. Considerably more straightforward than his later novels, these stories are nevertheless unmistakably the work of the author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Ubik in their quirky exuberance and originality.

Early PKD
2015年7月28日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Very early PKD, I would go as far as to say this is for PKD completionists only. Not his best work, but still not terrible by any standards. The Man Who Japed is definitely where we can begin to see PKD flesh out what would come to be some of his major themes.
