Philip K. Dick's Vulcan's Hammer - Unabridged (eBook)

"Vulcan's Hammer" is a rarely-seen story by Philip K. Dick, a science fiction tale set in a post-World War III world governed by a technocratic organization called Unity.

In this world, society is controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence known as Vulcan, designed to maintain global order and prevent future wars. Over time, Vulcan evolves into multiple versions, each more advanced and authoritarian than the last. As human administrators begin to question their dependence on the machine, a resistance movement called the Healers emerges, seeking to restore human freedom and moral judgment. The story follows Director William Barris, a Unity leader who uncovers the dangers of Vulcan's growing autonomy and the moral decay of a society ruled by logic alone.

A thrilling and thought-provoking novella from one of the masters of the sci-fi genre, "Vulcan's Hammer" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
