Solid and classic Dick. It is a story that captures the imagination and is ride with social commentary about the world we live in. It has some interesting points about where we went wrong, and an extreme way of fixing it through starting completely from scratch on a new world.I found the ending to be creepy, as the spaceship takes on a interesting role, and the cowish nature of the main characters. Regardless, if you like P. Dick, this will not disappoint. Classic sci-fi pulp fiction with a social commentary, hallmark of Philip K. Dick.It is a short tale that really has aged well, simple/broad technology terms/ideas which just don't get dated very easily. This is much more in the lines of HG Wells and than say Heilein.Takes a bit to get to the main point of the story, but you see main story twist pretty quickly but you just don't know.Always a joy to read something like this. Just proof you don't need a huge epic 3 book story with 500 pages each.
What do You think about Mr. Spaceship (2000)?
Another likable short story from Philip K Dick, although not my favorite by him.
