    Conger is a hunter, a smuggler, and a convicted criminal with nothing left to lose—until a powerful council offers him a way out. His task is unprecedented: travel back in time and eliminate the founder of a movement that reshaped civilization, before the man ever speaks his first words. The only clue he’s given is a skull, two centuries old, carried with him as proof. 
    As Conger moves through a suspicious mid-twentieth-century town, tracking a man who does not yet know his own importance, the mission grows increasingly uncertain. Philip K. Dick layers time travel, social paranoia, and moral tension into a story that questions authority, sacrifice, and whether history can—or should—be changed. 
    Philip K. Dick is one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, known for exploring identity, power, and distorted realities. His work frequently examines how individuals are shaped—and manipulated—by institutions that claim to act for the greater good. 
    Stories like The Skull showcase Dick’s early mastery of philosophical science fiction, where speculative concepts are inseparable from human consequence. His ideas continue to influence modern literature, film, and television decades after their publication.
