Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station is proud to present another audiobook by  the legendary Philip K. Dick. Second Variety is a very early story by PKD and marks  a beginning of sorts for the author as he starts to explore one of his great themes; what it means to be human. Cold War paranoia from the grand master of science fiction. Here are the author's own words on the matter.

"My grand theme - who is human and who only appears (masquerades) as human? - emerges most fully. Unless we can individually and collectively be certain of the answer to this question, we face what is, in my view, the most serious problem possible. Without answering it adequately, we cannot even be certain of our own selves. I cannot even know myself, let alone you. So I keep working on this theme; to me nothing is as important a question. And the answer comes very hard."
Philip K. Dick (1976)
