“if men are too blind to govern themselves, how can they be trusted to govern others?” ― Philip K. Dick

“At a time when most 20th-century science fiction writers seem hopelessly dated, Dick gives us a vision of the future that captures the feel of our time.”—Wired

An underrated piece of resistance literature from the author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The Penultimate Truth explored the notion of “Fake News” long before it became a political reality.

In the future, most of humanity lives in massive underground bunkers, producing weapons for the nuclear war they’ve fled. Constantly bombarded by patriotic propaganda, the citizens of these industrial anthills believe they are waiting for the day when the war will be over and they can return aboveground. But when Nick St. James, president of one anthill, makes an unauthorized trip to the surface, what he finds is more shocking than anything he could imagine.
