Yes, I was reminded of Andrea Boccelli's song while reading this excellent little short story. Philip K. Dick proposes an interesting scenario of a world supposedly devastated by war, its human population driven underground by the radiation above while the war is carried on by machines.While the ending of this story is surprisingly quixotic, the unreality of Dick's conclusions about human nature do not detract from the enjoyment of a well-written story.
