Mr. Spaceship

by Philip K. Dick

Overview

The story is set in the distant future, where mankind is at war with “Yuks”, an alien life form which doesn’t use mechanical spaceships nor constructions. Instead, it relies on life forms. The war has been going on for a long time, and mankind hasn’t been able to come up with a solution against the life-form based ships and mines that the Yuks use. One day, a team of researchers led by Philip Kramer decide to build a spaceship which is powered by a human brain. They find the ideal candidate, Kramer’s old professor, a dying man who volunteers to donate his brain to the project.
