James P. Crow
Philip K. Dick
Eons after the last nuclear war, humans have become the inferior race. Cities have become segregated, and robots rule the world. The robots did have a sense of justice, though. If a human could score high enough on an annual test, he could move up in society. There was a catch, though. The test was so slanted toward robot mentality and knowledge a human didn't have a chance. Then James P. Crow (not his real name) arrives on the scene with his window that sees into the past and the future.
Philip K. Dick takes a real shot at a social injustice that existed in America when this short story, read by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti, appeared in the May 1954 issue of Planet Stories.
