Summary:
The Variable Man is a science fiction story by Philip K. Dick. Excerpt from the book: At this moment, 9:30 AM, May 7, 2136, the statistical ratio on the SRB machines stood at 21-17 on the Centauran side of the ledger. All facts considered, the odds favored a successful repulsion by Proxima Centaurus of a Terran military attack. 21-17 on the Centauran side. But a month ago it had been 24-18 in the enemy's favor. Things were improving, slowly but steadily. Centaurus, older and less virile than Terra, was unable to match Terra's rate of technocratic advance. Terra was pulling ahead. 'If we went to war now,' Reinhart said thoughtfully, 'we would lose. We're not far enough along to risk an overt attack.' A harsh, ruthless glow twisted across his handsome features, distorting them into a stern mask. 'But the odds are moving in our favor.' Artist Bio Author: Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was an American writer, who explored plots dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states of consciousness.
