Fantasy & SciFi
'He fixed things-clocks, refrigerators, vidsenders and destinies. But he had no business in the future, where the calculators could not handle him. He was Earth's only hope-and its sure failure!'
Predictability has come a long way. The computers of the future can tell you if you're going to win a war before you fire a shot. Unfortunately they're predicting perpetual standoff between the Terran and Centaurian Empires.
What they need is something unpredictable, what they get is Thomas Cole, a man from the past accidently dragged forward in time. Will he fit their calculations, or is he the random variable that can break the stalemate?
The Variable Man first appeared in the September, 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine.

Dåligt skriven och dåligt inspelad.

Sorry Greg Marguerit (?) but recording your voice through a pillow, or on a seriously low quality device OR are you a robot reading?Philip K Dick's story TOTALLY wrecked by this recording. I could not finish it. Will read it again instead. It is a damned shame this recording was of such a poor quality!This recording should be taken offline, it deserves nobody's time.
