Total Recall
Total Recall
by Piers Anthony
Based on the Screenplay by Ronald Shusett, Dan O’Bannon & Gary Goldman
Inspired by the short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick
Review
1999
Reviewer:
This is an excellent book for those who saw the movie and thought "This idea had
potential." The Piers Anthony version of this story is superior to both the movie and the
screen play. This book gives insight into the mind of a alien race and what it might expect
from a species that considers itself mature enough for space travel. Mr. Anthony puts a
relatively new face on the oft used concept of colonialism extended to interplanetary
colonization. We see that the downtrodden are not always forgotten. We are also given
the opportunity to wrestle with the question, of what makes a person themselves; is it
ones actions(past, present, or future) or is it ones thoughts and ideas (remembered and
forgotten). While the "Total Recall" story is taken from a short story entitled, "We can
remember it for you wholesale." Piers Anthony offers a fresh look at the timeless
concepts.
A Valuable read whether you liked the movie or not. , January 22,
