Philip K. Dick

In the midst of a seemingly stalemated war with the Yucks from Proxima Centauri, a hidden truth lurks beneath the surface. Their mines, designed to strangle Terran planets, seem to propagate on their own, leaving humanity baffled. The brightest minds can only speculate that these ships and mines are somehow alive. Faced with desperation, humanity takes a bold step if the Yucks can harness organic vessels, why cant we? Enter Mr. Spaceship, a revolutionary concept that merges consciousness with warfare. But as the lines blur between machine and sentient being, will a conscious warship follow the orders of its generals‚Aîor will it chart its own course into the unknown?
