Summary:
This short story by writer Philip K. Dick (A Scanner Darkly, Blade Runner, Total Recall) takes a look at how humans relate to other creatures. More than that, it asks the reader to grapple with the definition of "human." What does it mean to be "human"? Are others - non-human beings - capable of possessing human qualities? Can other life forms who exhibit human traits be considered "human"? What does it mean to be human - not in terms of physical attributes but in terms of a soul? No need to answer now...listen to the story first.
