Book excerpt: From the mind of visionary sci-fi master Philip K. Dick, author of blockbuster adaptations like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, comes a thrilling short story of humanity's struggle against a powerful alien foe in Mr. Spaceship. In a distant future where humanity is locked in a losing war with the enigmatic "Yuks"-- a race with unparalleled biotechnological prowess-- a daring solution is born. Enter Philip Kramer, a resourceful scientist leading the cutting-edge attempt to turn the tides of war: creating a spaceship controlled by a human brain. Kramer's ailing professor, in a heartrending act of self-sacrifice, volunteers his brilliant mind for the project. But as the limits of human ingenuity collide with the cosmic, the professor's brain undergoes a startling transformation, seizing control of the vessel and dismantling all preconceptions of power and ambition. Captured in the spaceship's cold embrace, Kramer and his wife must grapple with the chilling realization of humanity's self-destructive nature, as they face an agonizing choice: follow the professor's vision for a new world, or risk everything in a fight to reclaim their future. Mr. Spaceship delivers a gripping tale of desperation, sacrifice, and the lengths that people will go to for the sake of progress. With its potent fusion of military strategy, alien invasions, and a philosophical exploration of man's indomitable spirit against all odds, this tantalizing gem from a trailblazing legend will leave you pondering the choices you'd make in the face of cosmic adversity.

Book excerpt: "Mr. Spaceship" is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in Imagination in January 1953, and later in The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick. The story is set in the distant future, where humanity is at war with "Yuks", an alien life form which does not use mechanical spaceships nor constructions but instead relies on life forms to power their technology. The war has been going on for a long time and humanity has not been able to come up with a solution against the life-form based ships and mines that the Yuks use. One day a team of researchers led by Philip Kramer decide to build a spaceship which is powered by a human brain and they find the ideal candidate in Kramer's old professor, a dying man who volunteers to donate his brain to the project.

Sensing trouble, the team flees the ship, leaving the empty ship, piloted by the professor, into outer space. Later, the spaceship returns and kidnaps Kramer and his wife, and on board the ship, the professor's brain informs them that they'll be looking for a new planet to colonize, to start over, as the professor sees no hope in humanity and what it has become- a species which desires, above all else, war.
