Beyond Lies the Wub & The Skull by Philip K. Dick ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Beyond Lies the Wub & The Skull by Philip K. Dick audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In this two-story volume from Philip K. Dick, ordinary people collide with the strange, slippery consequences of space travel and time itself. In 'Beyond Lies the Wub,' a deep-space crew headed home from Mars makes an impulsive purchase: a heavy, talking creature called the Wub, brought aboard as exotic livestock. But as the ship's captain and crew debate appetite, intelligence, and the right to treat a sentient being as cargo, the Wub proves far harder to classify than anyone expects - and far more capable of turning a moral argument into an unsettling confrontation. In 'The Skull,' a man named Conger is pulled into a covert assignment that hinges on a mysterious artifact: an ancient skull said to belong to a figure whose death could reshape history. Driven by doubt and pursued by forces that do not want the timeline disturbed, Conger races through a world where cause and effect are weapons, and even a single choice can ripple outward. Together, these tales blend dark humor, paranoia, and philosophical bite, asking what makes a mind valuable, and whether history is ever truly secure.
