World War III is raging - or so the millions of people crammed in their underground tanks believe. For fifteen years, subterranean humanity has been fed on daily broadcasts of a never-ending nuclear destruction, sustained by a belief in the all powerful Protector.
Now someone has gone to the surface and found no destruction, no war. The authorities have been telling a massive lie…
A masterly tale of political deception from the most significant writer of science fiction in the 20th century©1964 Philip K. Dick (P)2024 Recorded Books Dystopian Military Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction War

This is my first ever PKD book, the story was quite political at times which is does make me feel bored at times not to mention, there are too many characters that got introduced all of a sudden and sounded all the same, which is hard for me to get attached to any of them although it's a solid story that tells the higher man who controls million of people underground who believe the war is still on going for 15 years is kind of messed up concept, which makes up for an interesting read and also that ending was chilling I guess no one is ready for THE PENULTIMATE TRUTH 00

IT'S ALL A LIE 👀

I listened to 2+ hours but had to give up. Nothing happened, convoluted story, no investment in the characters and read far too fast. Definitely not for me and won’t be listening to more from this author.

Don’t waste a credit.
