This week we have a story called “Beyond Lies the Wub” by Philip K Dick. This story explores themes of empathy, the ethics of survival, and the often troubling intersection between human ambition and the natural world. Through the interactions between the crew and the wub, Philip K. Dick masterfully weaves a narrative that questions the boundaries of humanity and the nature of intelligence. It’s a story that proves the old saying “You are what you eat.”
This week’s story is “The Other Now” by Murray Leinster. It’s a story all about dealing with loss, and then finding out maybe you don’t actually have to deal with it after all.
This week’s story is “The Snare” by Richard Rein Smith. It could serve as a cautionary tale for NASA’s Artemis astronauts as they return to the Moon. If you find a doorway on the Moon, maybe it’s not such a good idea to go inside.
This week’s story is “The Super Opener” by Michael Zuroy, which just might be the very first literary example of malicious compliance in the workplace. It’s a story that has everything really, a put upon employee, an overbearing boss and the world being overrun with tin cans.
