"The danger was in the very essence of the machines, in what they were becoming, not what they were." — Philip K. Dick In a world devastated by endless war, where humans no longer fight directly, machines have taken over the battlefield. But what happens when these machines begin to evolve—without human input? In Second Variety, Philip K. Dick delivers a harrowing vision of a future where the line between man and machine vanishes, and survival hinges on one terrifying question: Can you trust anything—or anyone?
