THE
DEFENDERS SHORT STORY REVIEW - A nuclear war renders life on the surface impossible. A future race
is relegated to life in metal bunkers. The Defenders by Philip K Dick derives
its name from robot soldiers defending underground inhabitants from an ongoing
war. The ending reveals that the war ended long ago, the robots had not
informed the subterranean dwellers, thought to be immature and incapable
of peace. The author was a prolific maverick of
the sci-fi genre who wasn’t fully appreciated in his lifetime. His books have
an enormous readership and have been translated to multiple media projects. The
following is a short list of some of my favorites.
