About this ebook
The claws were bad enough in the first place-nasty, crawling little death robots. But when they began to imitate their creators, it was time for the human race to make peace-if it could!

One of Dick's best short-shorts. Read this in the Anthology, however, & it still sticks upside my brain like a peanut butter sandwich on white bread. Creepy, awesome, devastating. Read it.
