The Defenders

by Philip_K._Dick (1928

1982)

The terrible destruction of total nuclear war between the Western and
Eastern Blocks has succeeded in sterilizing the surface of the earth.
No living creature can now exist there. All humans on both sides
have fled to the hives built miles below the surface where they
constantly work to produce the war materials necessary to carry on
the battle. For eight years now, the actual fighting between these
super powers has been conducted by robots known as Ledeys since
only they can sustain the terrible levels of radiation caused by the
constant bombardment. They are the Defenders, standing between
the combatants far below and ultimate victory or defeat. The Ledeys
keep the generals informed on everything through vids and pictures;
but how can this continue? What will happen? Who will win?
