    About this ebook

    Mr. Spaceship is a novelette written by Philip K. Dick. It was first published in 1953.

    In a distant future, humanity is at war with an alien life form who relies on life forms instead of mechanical objects.

    Human searchers decide to build a spaceship powered by a human brain in order to compete with this alien species.

    But can humanity copy another life form without danger ?

    Note from the publisher : a novelette is shorter than a novella, but longer than a classic short story.

    Philip K. Dick

    Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
