About the Author Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was an American science-fiction novelist, short-story writer and essayist. A contemporary of Ursula K. Le Guin, Dick's first short story, "Beyond Lies the Wub," was published shortly after his high-school graduation. Many of Dick's works drew upon his personal experiences with drug abuse, addressing topics such as paranoia and schizophrenia, transcendental experiences and alternate reality, and the childhood death of his twin sister is reflected through the recurring theme of the "phantom twin" in many of his novels. Despite ongoing financial troubles and issues with the IRS, Dick had a prolific writing career, winning both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award multiple times. Some of his most famous novels and stories--A Scanner Darkly, "The Minority Report," "Paycheck," and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (adapted into the film Blade Runner)--have been adapted for film. Dick died in 1982.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. It's not easy being green By J Taylor A staff of stressed out space workers have delusions of turning into plants. A fun sci-fi story about making an escape from modern life.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. cool premise, but it fails to deliver By terziev This short story has a really quirky and neat idea - humans suddenly become plants. There are several great one liners such as “Corporal, you must realize that there are very few men who become plants, especially on such short notice.” , but it gets bogged in unnecessary details and just poor writing style. Overall I had the feeling I am reading some draft version. Still this is one of the earliest P. Dick stuff and his original style is evident. It is mostly for fans of P. Dick, the rest will hardly appreciate it.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Who am I? By Timothy Marvin Coplin Science fiction short story. Terra-forming soldiers garrisoned on asteroid Y3 are slipping into a state of uselessness. One by one and at an ever increasing rate, the workers are turning into plants. This isn't a physical transformation; rather, the mind is slipping into a 'vegetative' state. Result: refusal to work, abandoning their responsibilities, putting the entire garrison and its mission at jeopardy.Back on Terra, Dr. Henry Harris is charged with finding the cause of, and solution to this problem. After submitting the vegetative subjects to shock treatment, Dr. Harris was able to learn the source of the problem; and, upon visiting the garrison he is able to confirm that source - Pipers. Dr. Harris further diagnoses the Pipers as imaginative entities upon which the subjects are projecting blame for their desire to revert to useless social subjects.Solution: psychotherapy - cause the subjects to become self-aware. Once the subjects become self-aware, the Pipers will vanish.Read on to see what happens next.Nice commentary on social entitlements which give rise to laziness, despondence, and dependence upon others. In actuality, it is this readers firm belief that the teaching and glorification of evolutionary theory has done much to destroy humanities self-awareness. Creatures that are created in the image of God, as taught in Christian scripture, ought not be led to believe that they are nothing more than the latest step on a never ending chain of happenstance. How does that breed self-awareness? How does that spark hope and desire? How is that ever good for a society, let alone an individual.Great read.
