A Review Of Philip K Dick's The Pre-persons

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss the classic PKD short story, The Pre-persons. The work is a well written example of what happens when the lines we draw between good andf evil are so arbitrary. What does a human being become a person… and when is it okay to kill that person. In current events, Obama might be gay. Taliban closes beauty salons. Government hearing on UFOs. They found Nero's. The earth is going through a boiling phase. India upset with China. Inflatable flies away and kills man and injurs child. Trump indicted… again. Fossils found in Peru. Germans hold requiem for glacier. Mayan Mass coming. Covid shots led to stillbirths. Biden outlaws lightbulbs. In the land of nonsense, bear found in spa. Fake bear in China. Slow woman runs slow.
