Beschreibung

From the legendary author of Blade Runner and Minority Report, Philip K. Dick presents The Last of the Masters-- an unrivalled science fiction classic that has gained prominence for its thought-provoking exploration of anarchism, statism, and the role of technology in a post-apocalyptic world.

In the aftermath of a global anarchist revolution that brought down the world's governments, humanity finds itself lost in a wasteland of stagnation. Knowledge and industry have crumbled, leaving behind a society frozen in time. However, whispers of a surviving state concealed from the watchful eyes of the Anarchist League reach the ears of three intrepid agents, and the long-forgotten engines of war threaten to reignite. As the agents infiltrate this final stronghold of order, their fates become entwined in a precarious balance of power between those who seek freedom and the last custodians of the old world-- including the enigmatic government robot at its center.

Through gripping dialogue and action-packed tension, Philip K. Dick masterfully transports readers into a heart-pounding race against time where the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Dive into this thrilling short story that sets itself apart in the realm of post-apocalyptic fiction, not only as a captivating tale of survival, but as a striking examination of the political and ethical implications of anarchism and the profound consequences of our technological creations.
