About The variable man, and other stories
"The Variable Man" is a science fiction novella by American writer Philip K. Dick, which he wrote and sold before he had an agent.

The Variable Man can be found in several collections of Dick's short stories, including The Variable Man and The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford.
