ask LJ: literary reference?

What's that Phil K. Dick story in which the conceit is that the world has no continuous existence-- it is repeatedly just set up a moment ago by something like a stage crew? Thanks.

The Philip K Dick story "Adjustment Team" became the movie "Adjustment Bureau".

The Twilight Zone story with the blue maintenance guys who fix things minute by minute is based on a Ted Sturgeon story.
