"The Eyes Have It" by Philip K. Dick is a short science fiction story written in the early to mid-20th century. The work delves into themes of perception and reality, illustrating how ordinary observations can take on extraordinary implications when viewed from a different perspective. It showcases Dick's signature style of blending unsettling humor with speculative ideas. The narrative follows an unnamed protagonist who stumbles upon a seemingly innocuous book featuring peculiar descriptions of human anatomy. As he reads, he grows increasingly alarmed by the bizarre possibility that the characters in the story are actually alien life forms capable of detaching their body parts. The protagonist's mounting horror is compounded by his realization that these nonhuman beings live without any regard for their missing limbs or organs, treating such actions as mundane.
