What is human? What is a machine? How do they differ? Or do they?

 

In these 15 stories about robots and androids, Philip K. Dick asks these questions. The answers differ with each story-in the fictional world and in the exploring mind of Dick the only certainty is change-but the author establishes some guidelines: "To be human, one must maintain his intellectual and spir­itual freedom at all costs. He must refuse obedience to any ideology; he must re­main unpredictable, unfettered by pat­terns and routines."
