''Minority Report'' is a Science Fiction Short Story by Philip K. Dick first published in 1956 . It is about a future society where murders are prevented before they happen through the efforts of " Precog s," three mutants who can see the future. The story looks at the Paradox es and alternate realities that are created by their precognition when the chief of Police intercepts a prediction that he is about to murder a man of whom he has never heard of. It also touches on the danger of a powerful post-war military during peacetime, the main theme not revisited by the movie (see below). Like many stories dealing with knowledge of future events, "Minority Report" raises the question of the existence of Free Will .
