From the legendary author of Blade Runner and Minority Report, Philip K. Dick presents The Last of the Masters– an unrivalled science fiction classic that has gained prominence for its thought-provoking exploration of anarchism, statism, and the role of technology in a post-apocalyptic world.
In the aftermath of a global anarchist revolution that brought down the world’s governments, humanity finds itself lost in a wasteland of stagnation. Knowledge and industry have crumbled, leaving behind a society frozen in time. However, whispers of a surviving state concealed from the watchful eyes of the Anarchist League reach the ears of three intrepid agents, and the long-forgotten engines of war threaten to reignite. As the agents infiltrate this final stronghold of order, their fates become entwined in a precarious balance of power between those who seek freedom and the last custodians of the old world– including the enigmatic government robot at its center.
Through gripping dialogue and action-packed tension, Philip K. Dick masterfully transports readers into a heart-pounding race against time where the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Dive into this thrilling short story that sets itself apart in the realm of post-apocalyptic fiction, not only as a captivating tale of survival, but as a striking examination of the political and ethical implications of anarchism and the profound consequences of our technological creations.
