I have read everything that PKD ever published. The Pre-Persons is excellent, and so are many of his other stories, frequently in spite of his ideology.

He certainly had a wider range of stories and ideas than many SF writs and was hard to categorize. It’s amusing to me that Hollywood pick and chooses from his stories to make movies they can stomach.
He is by no means my favorite but I do acknowledge his skill!
And I think The Day The Earth Stood Still and 2001 are awful but I don’t find most SF movies much better I love space opera and there just aren’t any good movies like that (other than, say, the original Star Wars)

Thanks for pointing me to "The Pre-Persons." A disturbing story, but the truth must be confronted. In my neighborhood there are ads for an
abortion clinic (seen on bus benches and public transit) and yet there are also stores selling goods for expectant mothers and infants. Where does one draw the line?
