Storia
"The Eyes Have It" is a humorous, early short story by Philip K. Dick that first appeared in Science Fiction Stories in 1953. In it, a bus-riding reader of a discarded melodrama with an overactive imagination is persuaded by the hackneyed prose that the world has been taken over by aliens. Thus, when "eyes slowly roved around the room", the reader imagines disembodied eyeballs traveling of their own free will. A rare example of satire from the Dick canon.

A classic story from a classic author!
Re-Read Via Audible: I really enjoyed this narration by Chris Lutkin! Even though it's a rather average story the narration helped a lot. A very average story, but with Philip K. Dick's rather elegant writing. Compared to Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? I enjoyed this a lot more and now I'm even more keen to read some more short stories from "Classic Science Fiction" authors!!
