Summary:
'Adjustment Team' is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick. It was first published in Orbit Science Fiction (SeptemberOctober 1954, No. 4) with illustration by Faragasso.

Inside Ed's house, while he is getting ready for work, Ed is accosted by a door-to-door insurance salesman and doesn't leave for work until 9:30. Ed arrives at his office building, but upon stepping onto the curb, finds himself in a sunless version of the world where everything and everyone is immobile, ash-grey, and crumbles at his touch. Ed is accosted by white-robed men, who talk about 'de-energizing' him with a hose-like piece of equipment, but he flees outside and across the street, back to the everyday world, fearing he's had a psychotic episode...
