This isn't the best but i don't think there aee any other audiobooks on Asimov's robot novels still on UA-cam

Took me a few chapters to be sure this was being read by AI, rather than just occasional human error. I generally don't enjoy the idea of AI audiobooks but they are getting better and seems quite fitting for this story - like being read a bedtime story by your own robot.

Great audiobook, thank you.

i cant believe the voice is AI......amazing

I always wanted to re-read the foundation series, there is no more after this book, are you planning to do more?, thanks

The commisioner is obviously a person of interest. Not even a deposition?

A windy story. Oh an the two circles do not touch. There is a air gap between them, past the showers. Also could have taken a cop car outside to th gap. The robot has not had cop training. He is not even a real detective. The spacers is not even circle. Each has a yard 1:00:01

Part of the ending - Oh and Vince wants his job back.

30 minutes into this and I don’t know what the fuck is going on. Sorry.

I'm gonna pass on this, and find a human reader.

The reader sounds a bit too machine-like. Of course, that's the way the character Detective Elijah Bailey would talk. It's the 'Sam Spade' archetype that Bogart made famous. Anyway, seems like a productive way for you to produce copy for UA-cam.

Am assuming (and hoping) that Robots of Dawn will follow this audiobook? AI voices are still missing the different character voices that good narrators use, when that happens audiobook readers may be out of a job!

What an awfully tiresome book.

Even I understand it is master piece, it so boring...

It seems strange that the replacement chief librarian is described as "Progressive" as a complement, in the context, someone favouring continuing policy of his predecessor is a conservative. I wonder if this is an artifact of the time the book was written, an example of the political bias of the time with people believing it normal to equate change with good.

Johosafat !

The most extreme version of country mouse versus city mouse ever.

Too bad I Robot can't pronounce Elijah Bailey

This AI voice cannot correctly pronounce the name of the main character. That is important for understanding the story. This is a rather significant failure in the reading. Skip this. Find a reading by a human.

I started reading Asimov 50-ish years ago,when i was 14. Really loved it, but only now do i realize that the book was actually more than fun: it is great.

This is not an audiobook

Fucking ai...

👍👀👍

Thank you so much for putting this together! I like the voice you chose!

I only realised this was an AI after some weird pronunciations

This was good thank you! ❤

I admit I was quite a bit disappointed when Apple tv woke-board decided to changed R. Daneel for a waifu sex doll in their foundation tv series.

Ai go to hell already.

He writes a masterpiece that terrifies ...especially as we the first gen to mechanically accept robots, despite them predicting our ultimate demise..he writes with amazing accuracy.

Boring terrible narrator!

Is this AI Lex Friedman?

such good tech for phone calls and imaging - and yet no recording instruments in the robots at all? Seems like an oversight.

We are less than a generation away from not caring if the narrator is not human. Maybe only a generation away from having citizens who only relate via the internet. View you soon

Was this before or after Elijah went to space? Before, I guess

Asimov is totally fking with the audience. The only sane person in the entire book is redhanded labelled a murderer. Wtf these people. Great writing!

Stanislaw Lem reused the concept of intimacy-induced hysteria in his "Return from the Stars" ('61), albeit in a slightly different take: centuries of relativistic space travel return man to earth to find entire civilization "bezatret"-ed, that is, made hormonally incapable of violence or even imagining it. The old timer, not having the procedure done as fetus, causes everyone around him to be constantly catatonic with panic, when they learn he is Capable of Violence. The "romance interest" female character was written in two: one was the "pervert", the other was the delicate flower being suffocated, but it was the protagonist doing the suffocating, not the society. The roles of robots and humans around violence were also reversed - it was up to the bots to make the hard decisions now and then and keep it real quiet-like, so that humans wouldn't accidentally imagine suffering... Come to think of it, that was as clean an antiplagiarism ("carbon copy, but exact opposite :P") as I've seen, I suppose... The specific kind of eugenics vibe is strongly present in Gattaca, sth like "after the turmoil is done, stagnation sets in". (for comparison in Trek, eugenic society didn't win and in Almost Human, it's only getting started). 3:42:24 it was 1956, and with the stroke of a pen, Asimov (if no-one beat him to it), invented online gaming.

Tbh, its just bad. Its not good, its sci fi. This why its not classic

Too deep a voice for a 6th grader. Very monotonic.....need a different one

Astounding . We're now able to dream away looking at great artwork while listening.

Boring plodding plot.

Good story, but the AI voice has a terrible tendency to mispronounce names.

Please post the name of the AI program that read this.

Really this is read by an IA? If so a lot better than the old VA.

The guy narrating is emotionless and uninteresting. I couldn't go on after just 10 minutes, unfortunately.

6hr 19sec…
