October’s over (actually, it’s October 23rd as I write this, just to give you an indication of how I sometimes write stuff in advance… Present Me, your Past Me, is twenty minutes away from the release of Civilization: Beyond Earth and he’s super excited). So it’s back to the usual here at The Goug’ Blog: mostly science fiction.

Open Culture has compiled a playlist of the music Philip K. Dick may have listened to while writing. From their page:
What did Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and A Scanner Darkly author Philip K. Dick, that visionary of our not-too-distant dystopian future, listen to while he crafted his descriptions of grim, psychologically (and sometimes psychedelically) harrowing times ahead? Mozart. Beethoven. Mahler. Wagner.
