The Penultimate Truth (1964)
The Penultimate Truth contains elements of the stories "The Defenders and "The Mold of Yancy". It is a story about fake war images and speeches of a simulacrum president broadcast to the masses living underground in fear while the elite have the world to themselves. Who could write better about this than Philip K. Dick?
