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.

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 Variable Man by Philip K. Dick audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In the middle of a desperate interstellar war, Earth is gambling its survival on perfect prediction. Military planners and weapons magnates rely on vast statistical systems to forecast every battle, every treaty, every human choice, reducing the future to a set of manageable probabilities. Then a glitch rips open time itself and delivers an impossible outsider: Thomas Cole, a plainspoken, early-20th-century repairman with a talent for improvisation and a stubborn belief that any machine can be fixed if you understand its parts. To the strategists, Cole is a dangerous anomaly - a 'variable man' who does not belong in their equations and therefore threatens the fragile certainty that keeps their war machine running. As rival factions scramble to capture, study, or eliminate him, Cole is forced to navigate a world of cold logic, corporate ambition, and escalating violence, where being unpredictable can be both a weapon and a death sentence. Philip K. Dick spins a tense, idea-driven chase through a future obsessed with control, asking what happens when one ordinary human being becomes the one factor no system can account for.
