By Philip K. Dick, Read by William Coon
Length: 6 hours, 20 minutes [Unabridged]

In ‘Second Variety’ robot warriors appear to have given one side the advantage in a devastating war. But a small band of soldiers begins to question just what the robots’ endgame truly is.

In ‘Beyond Lies the Wub’ a member of a spaceship’s crew buys a Wub (‘a huge dirty pig!’) for fifty cents, thinking it might be a good source of meat for the long journey home. Then the Wub speaks.

In ‘The Eyes Have It’ a man’s imagination gets the best of him, as he takes the words in a paperback novel a bit too literally.

In ‘Piper in the Woods’ a doctor attempts to unravel the mystery of why workers on an asteroid base begin to behave as if they have become plants.

In ‘The Variable Man’ giant computers indicate earth will likely win an interstellar war that will free it from the limits imposed by an aging Centauran empire. Plans are disrupted, however, when a man from the past arrives and throws off all calculations.
