The Penultimate Truth

Dick, Philip K. The Penultimate Truth. New York: Belmont, 1964. London: Cape, 1967. New York: Dell, 1980.

Surface world in which robots—"leadies"—do all physical work, and an underground human environment of "ant tanks." Very important for PKD's idea of the mendacity of ruling elites. See under Literary Criticism the CW essay by M. Abrash on PKD. See PKD's "The Defenders."[]
