    another great story by 1950's sci fi legend Phillip k dick , brings back fond memories of my youth , I learned English by reading galaxy magazine after school when I 1st immigrated from Libya , these writings are taboo & will get people killed in the Islamic world so it was a real treat to get a new magazine every month here in USA , don't allow these anarchist kids to bash your great country , america stands alone as the country that's done the most for the world , and people of all races , even an African Libyan like myself who was lynched in Libya everyday .

    Is the narrator doing a William Shatner impression?

    Kind of a cool one! Definitely still echoes as a scifi plot throughout the years.
    Love the narration! We need a film noir story by the same guy. Rest in peace.

    One of his absolute best. On many levels: religious themes yes but also a utopian socialist vision of a society that embraces non-violence
