While watching the aerial drones destroy the land drones in Ukraine yesterday, this Phillip K. Dick classic came to mind. I highly recommend.

‘Screamers’ was based on that story.

I enjoyed this story. Good to see that it made Project Gutenberg.

I’ve read a few of Dick’s pieces, having been a sci-fi fan since childhood. He was a notorious drunk and substance abuser, actually psychotic much of the time. In retrospect, I thank God I was never so taken in by his ramblings as to join him, but I did get some idea of how to recognize crazy when I encounter it.

Thank you, thank you! I read this story nearly 70 years ago and could not remember who wrote it nor the title. I have thought about it many times over the years and wondered about it. Thanks for the memories...
