James P. Crow

Dick, Philip K. . "James P. Crow." Planet Stories May 1954. Coll. Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick, q.v. under Anthologies, vol. 2: Second Variety.

Discussed by M. J. Tolley, "Some Kind of Life" (cited under Literary Criticism), who gives the premise as "an Earth where history has been so much distorted by the devastation of nuclear wars that it is generally believed that . . . robots created . . . humans," who now live "as slaves to the robots." The title character states the differences between humans and robots, gets rid of the robots, achieves power—and gets set to rule (Tolley 13).
