There wouldn't have been any problems IF.
They had paid attention to one the axioms of Psychohistory.

You sound a little psychohistorical yourself.
Care to elaborate on your rambling thought?
Read Isaac Asimov.
It is a fact that Philip K. Dick has more of his scribblings filmed by Hollywood, and he has some nice ideas, but the master of the universe would be Mr. Asimov. When I read some of the works of Dick, it had a foreword(?) complaining about Dick having a lot of his work on the screen, but not the recognition as Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke or other great SciFi writers. That foreword, in fact, got me somewhat to resent Dick.
Oh, shoot, I'm sorry to hear about that. I have been wanting to read some of Dick, too. Were those his words? He certainly is well regarded as the conceiver of many a classic film, as you say. I liked the premise here, too ... thought it was neat, and really lent itself well to a running-for-your-life, chase movie. Actually, I did try to read a little of Minority Report and it seemed at first to bear no resemblance to the movie. It must be Dick's ideas which are so translatable.
