THE VARIABLE MAN 








THE VARIABLE 
PHILIP K. DICK 


ILLUSTRATED BY EBEL 





Predictability has come a long way. The computers of the future can tell you if you’re going to win a 
war before you fire a shot. Unfortunately they’re predicting perpetual standoff between the Terran and 
Centaurian Empires. What they need is something unpredictable, what they get is Thomas Cole, 

a man from the past accidently dragged forward in time. Will he fit their calculations, or is he the 
random variable that can break the stalemate? 

— The Variable Man first appeared in the September, 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine.
