Matthew Royal reviewed The Variable Man by Philip Dick
Review of 'Variable Man, The' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Enjoyable short story. SPOILERS AHEAD:
Not entirely believable, since the story's predicated on a random tinkerer from the past being able to solve the far future's biggest technological challenges. Human reactions unreasonable too: the man from the past should have become "the man with one eye in the kingdom of the blind": king, but it always seemed he was barely holding on.
