The story is titled "Waterspider". It was originally published for a Sci-Fi magazine in the '60s and was part of a collection released as one big book. I don't remember specifically which compilation book, though.
I fell in love with Philip K. Dick because of the naturalness to a lot of the science fiction he wrote. It was way out there, but it was still portrayed in such a way that it sounds entirely possible/believable.
Instead of writing out the whole thing here, I'd love to share one of my older posts, The Curious Case of Pre-Cogs, since it covers another of my favorite 100+ year-old stories that talks about the future of science fact being predicted in science fiction.
Cool article and thanks for the story recommendation. I have cursory knowledge of Philip K. Dick's work (most sci-fi ive read is from the past 20 years or so), but ill definitely do some deeper reading.
