The Defenders by Philip K. Dick audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The terrible destruction of total nuclear war between the Western and Eastern Blocks has succeeded in sterilizing the surface of the earth. No living creature can now exist there and all humans on both sides, have fled to the hives built miles below the surface where they constantly work to produce the war materials necessary to carry on the battle. For 8 years now, the actual fighting between these super powers has been conducted by robots known as Ledeys since only they can sustain the terrible levels of radiation caused by the constant bombardment. They are the Defenders, standing between the combatants far below and ultimate victory or defeat. Life is hard in the tunnels, but liveable, while it is lethal on the surface. The ledeys keep the generals informed on everything through vids and pictures; but how can this continue? what will happen? Who will win?

The Crystal Crypt & Beyond the Door by Philip K. Dick audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In The Crystal Crypt & Beyond the Door, Philip K. Dick delivers two early, razor-edged science fiction tales where ordinary choices become traps and reality refuses to stay put. In The Crystal Crypt, three uneasy travelers flee Mars for Earth in the wake of a bitter political struggle. The trip should be routine, but suspicion rides with them: each passenger has something to hide, and the legacy of a catastrophic act of sabotage threatens to surface at the worst possible moment. As tensions rise aboard the ship, the line between survivor, collaborator, and avenger blurs. In Beyond the Door, a seemingly harmless gift - a peculiar wooden cuckoo clock - becomes the catalyst for a young couple's unraveling. What begins as domestic discomfort turns into mounting dread as the clock's presence provokes jealousy, fear, and the sense that an unseen force is pressing in from the edges of their lives. Together, these stories showcase Dick's signature themes: paranoia as a survival instinct, the fragility of identity, and the terrifying possibility that the world can change shape without warning.

The Eyes Have It & Tony and the Beetles by Philip K. Dick audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Aliens have invaded the earth! Horrible one celled creatures disguised as normal human beings ! Well, at least that is what it seems to the author. Yes, The Eyes Have It is a whimsical story, making gentle fun of certain writing styles, but only a topflight science-fictionist like Philip Dick , we thought, could have written this story, in just this way. Tony and the Beetles takes place far in the future when Earth's enormous colonial empire is well established but the question is, how long can it last? 10 year old Tony grows up fast when history catches up with the human race. A sobering look at human history .. and our probable future. Two very different stories but both entertaining.
