Classic Tales Well Told

(5 stars)

Sorker

The radio versions were classics and I am happy to see these well-read original short stories. The stories are, of course, more slow to develop than are the radio plays but that's OK, as it takes us into the realm of a good sci-fi reading experience. The radio plays eventually exeeded the written material and can be found at http://www.archive.org/details/XMinus1_A The radio plays were revived in the 1980s and played on at least one major US station until 2002.

amazing work

Good short stories all though some are long enough that they are their own books in the Librivox catalog.

Thanks for the starter of this and I just wanted to thank Sorker for the other link. I was sitting here thinking, "Huh? That's it? I know this stuff is around here somewhere... Oh, a-ha!" Now I can show this off to my Star Trek buddy. Cheers!

tunnel under the world

A LibriVox Listener

An unsettling story to say the least. Especially since A.I. is so close on our horizon. And hard to believe that an A.I. society wouldn't enjoy plays by Shakespeare featuring little humans who thought their lives had meaning.
