Publisher Description
Influential American science fiction writer Philip K. Dick was fascinated by the idea of nuclear warfare and the dire aftermath of such an event. This scenario preoccupied Dick throughout much of his career and served as the backdrop to many of his stories and novels. In the short story "Second Variety," the human population has been decimated by nuclear war, and small tribes of survivors are forced to battle a species of lethal robot soldiers.

Enjoyable SF of the Twilight Zone era
Actually a very enjoyable quick read. Tied to post ww2 culture and worldview - complete with anti war message and fearsome technology. I really felt Hendricks should hav figure out Version Two, but he was quite a dupe.
