Set in the future or in an imaginary present, on Terra or on distant planets, this collection of classic short stories is about war, aliens, governments, space and time travel, reality and the imagination, industrialization, human ambition and intelligent robots. From moral dilemmas in "Beyond Lies the Wub" to mysterious investigations in "Piper in the Woods" and post-apocalyptic revelations in "The Defenders," these stories are both a vision of the modern era and timeless science fiction stories. Most of the stories in this collection are from Philip Dick's earlier publications in magazines such as Planet Stories, Imagination, Orbit Science Fiction, Space Science Fiction, Science Fiction Adventures, Fantastic Universe, Galaxy Science Fiction, and other popular science fiction magazines of his day.

This Modern Man is Beat is a novel in stories chronicling the life and times of Habib bin Habib Al Fulan - born in El Salvador, of Palestinian stock, and eventually ending up in Miami. In each story, a different version of Habib appears at a different stage of life, a modern and multicultural American man trying to find his place in the world. Linked by theme and character with singular wit, black humor, and sometimes bawdy depictions of sex, drugs, and violence, it is also a sincere love story.
