About this listen

Immerse yourself in Philip K. Dick's terrifying masterpiece Second Variety, where humanity's own weapons have evolved beyond control. In the frozen wasteland of a post-nuclear Earth, soldiers fight a desperate war against autonomous killing machines known as "claws." But when these machines develop the ability to disguise themselves as humans, paranoia reigns supreme.

This chilling 1953 sci-fi thriller delivers Dick's signature exploration of what makes us human, featuring robotic infiltrators indistinguishable from their creators and a shocking twist that will leave you questioning everything. Experience the classic tale that inspired the film "Screamers" and witness firsthand why Dick's visionary blend of technological horror and psychological suspense continues to captivate listeners decades later.

A must-listen for fans of dystopian fiction that eerily predicted our modern anxieties about artificial intelligence and autonomous weapons.
