Everything about War Veteran totally explained
War Veteran is a
science fiction short story by
Philip K. Dick. First published in
If magazine in March
1955.
The plot concerns an old man who appears to have travelled back in time from a future in which
Earth has lost a devastating war to its own
Martian and
Venusian colonies. The man turns out to be a synthetic human, designed to trick the Earth people into believing they could never win the war, forcing them to make peace. The android of the story is a forerunner of the kind (named
replicant in the film
Blade Runner) that appears in Dick's novel
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
This story shows how pent up racial tension is a dangerous tool. And as always with Dick, not everything is what it seems to be.
