>Bad form!
>I had to go dig up my copy of Peter Pan by Barrie for this one. These are the final words of Captain Hook.
Correct. Because PP kicks him to the crocodile rather than killing him with his sword. No idea why this counts as bad form.

>It's been ages since I've read Neuromancer but I see William Gibson on the author list and Turing Code screams cyberpunk to me and PKD has already been done.
Yes, it's Neuromancer. When Case is on the beach with Linda and he meets the young boy who turns out to be the one the book is named after.

Yoko Ono picked it.

>11 - the "light under a bushel" bit refers to Matthew 5, Mark 4, and Luke 8.
Pretty much correct.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

— Matthew 5:15 [also Mark 4:21, Luke 11:33]


Luke 8 talks about covering a light; Luke 11 talks about specifically the bushel.

Correct. All the chapters are described by the appropriate prayer, as that's how monks thoughts of time. Dante does this too.

Pretty much, except they're not just associated with the boat, they're *in* it.

That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England.

Yup, both right. PKD obviously genuinely liked serious music. Most of his books feature it (since most of his MCs are self-inserts) e.g. in Broken Bubble where the guy gets sacked from the radio job because he refuses to read some crass commercial in the middle of a symphony or something haha.

Indeed. The work cited is "The Deerslayer". (D. H. Lawrence apparently called it "one of the most beautiful and perfect books in the world: flawless as a jewel and of gem-like concentration." Hahaha.)
