Second Variety by Philip K. Dick
LibriVox recording of Second Variety, by Philip K. Dick
Read by Gregg Margarite (1957-2012).
Early victories by the USSR in a global nuclear war cause the United Nations government to retreat to the moon leaving behind troops and fierce autonomous robots called “Claws”, which reproduce and redesign themselves in unmanned subterranean factories. After six bloody years of conflict the Soviets call for an urgent conference and UN Major Joseph Hendricks sets out to meet them. Along the way he will discover what the Claws have been up to, and it isn’t good… - Second Variety was first published in the May 1953 edition of Space Science Fiction Magazine.

    Was the meaning of "mene mene tekel upharsin" (number number weight division in Babylonian) not known to the people of lovecrafts time? I know Akkadian is much more spoken now than it was in the 19th century, but I thought that bible scholars knew of its meaning before that.
