description: Blackstone Audio presents this collection of two stories by Philip K. Dick, the only science-fiction writer to be included in the Library of America. In Martian Time-Slip , a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner lives on the arid colony of Mars. Although the UN has slated such children for deportation and destruction, some suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In The Golden Man , as monstrous mutants roam freely in post-nuclear America, a government agency, the DCA, is formed to get rid of them. But also targeted is eighteen-year-old Cris Johnson. He is a perfect specimen of young manhood, an icon of masculine beauty. He is the golden man. The DCA's fear that he might reproduce a new race of golden men with super-human survival skills makes his destruction paramount.
