Instead, a man named Lamar Burgess creates Precrime. His wife in the short story is named Lisa, while his ex-wife in the film is named Lara.

Perhaps what charmed me most about this collection was the pulpy, almost comic-book like nature of many of these stories, which was something I didn’t expect. “The Infinites”, another of my favorites, could easily be an episode of the original Star Trek. Many others remind me of the “The Twilight Zone”. Gerrel A . K . Saunders is an illustrator and designer from the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Hilary Clarcq is based in Colorado, USA.

In the adaptation, they are called Agatha, Dashiell, and Arthur—after crime writers Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, and Arthur Conan Doyle—children of drug addicts whose mutations led them to dream of future murders, which are captured by machines. They are "deified" by the Precrime officers, and are implied to be intelligent (Agatha guides Anderton successfully through a crowded mall while being pursued by Precrime, and the trio are seen reading large piles of books at the end of the film). In the end of the movie they retire to a rural cottage where they continue their lives in freedom and peace.
