About this listen

Discover Philip K. Dick's chilling post-apocalyptic masterpiece "The Defenders," where humanity hides underground while robot "leadies" wage nuclear war above. But when humans venture to the surface, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that challenges everything they believe.

This thought-provoking short story showcases Dick's genius for blending paranoia, deception, and profound questions about reality—themes that would later inspire blockbuster films like Blade Runner and Total Recall. Explore the Cold War allegory that remains disturbingly relevant today, as Dick forces us to confront the machinery of war and question who truly controls our fate.

A must-listen classic from science fiction's most prescient and philosophical voice.
