  The Crawlers - When Humanity...

  Philip K. Dick

  They were born near the radiation lab—soft, crawling, half-human things that no one wanted to claim as children. At first there were only a few, then dozens, then enough that cars began running over them on lonely highways and farmers started moving away in fear. Ernest Gretry is sent from Washington to quietly “take care of the problem,” but when he sees the creatures up close—building, learning, forming a colony—he realizes the real threat isn’t simply that they exist, but how fast they are changing. They don’t walk. They don’t speak. But they think. And they build. 
  What begins as a cleanup operation turns into a moral nightmare as parents must decide whether to hand over their own mutated children, towns collapse under anxiety and silence, and the crawlers continue to grow their underground city—spreading, tunneling, preparing. The story starts as body horror and ends as something closer to cosmic inevitability. If humanity hoped to contain the mutants, it may already be too late… because the crawlers have plans of their own. 
  “The Crawlers” is classic Philip K. Dick: a brutal, thought-provoking collision of science fiction, paranoia, and social commentary written long before most readers were ready to face its ideas. Dick asks the hard question beneath every “invasion” story—what if the new species isn’t invading… what if it’s replacing us? 
  Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) reshaped science fiction by treating it as a laboratory for what-ifs about identity, perception, government power, and the fragile nature of reality. His novels and stories became the foundation for films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, The Adjustment Bureau, and A Scanner Darkly. His work has been adapted into TV series, taught in universities, and debated by philosophers and futurists.

  The Eyes Have It by Philip K. Dick - A little whimsy, now and then, makes for good balance. Theoretically, you could find this type of humor anywhere. But only a topflight science-fictionist, we thought, could have written this story, in just this way… 
  It was quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven’t done anything about it; I can’t think of anything to do. I wrote to the Government, and they sent back a pamphlet on the repair and maintenance of frame houses. Anyhow, the whole thing is known; I’m not the first to discover it. Maybe it’s even under control. 
  I was sitting in my easy-chair, idly turning the pages of a paperbacked book someone had left on the bus, when I came across the reference that first put me on the trail. For a moment I didn’t respond. It took some time for the full import to sink in. After I’d comprehended, it seemed odd I hadn’t noticed it right away. 
  The reference was clearly to a nonhuman species of incredible properties, not indigenous to Earth. A species, I hasten to point out, customarily masquerading as ordinary human beings. Their disguise, however, became transparent in the face of the following observations by the author. It was at once obvious the author knew everything. Knew everything — and was taking it in his stride. The line (and I tremble remembering it even now) read:… his eyes slowly roved about the room.

  Travel around the world with the perpetually unruffled Phileas Fogg and his stalwart French valet Passepartout in this new "update" of the classic novel's original English translation - 150 years after its publication. 
  Laugh at the ironic jibes and the bumbling Detective Fix, gasp at the high adventure and perilous misadventures, and feel the thrill of haste and ingenuity, but no longer wince at badly aged language and harmful stereotypes. This gentle modernization changes only as much as necessary and retains everything that has made this novel an immortal classic. 
  Genuinely funny and duly iconic, Jules Verne's greatest classic will hopefully continue to inspire and delight readers for another 150 years. The humble adjustments of this edition are meant to benefit this happy legacy.
