    IN THIS EPISODE: Originally published in Planet Stories, July 1962 - Beyond Lies the Wub tells the story of a space crew that encounters a massive, pig-like alien creature that they purchase as livestock for their journey. But as they prepare to slaughter the Wub for food, it reveals a surprising intelligence, speaking with them about philosophy, consciousness, and the nature of life itself. What begins as a routine acquisition turns into a thought-provoking and eerie encounter that challenges the crew's understanding of what it means to be sentient.
