How do I download the audio so I can add it to my Asimov collection?

Remember Please This Introduction Is A Wonderful Treatise From Isaac Concerning The History & Backstory Of His Sci Fi Career In A Nutshell 💞 I Wouldn't Miss The Opportunity To Enjoy This Mini-History Lesson With Great Enthusiasm Before The Stories Begin ✌️You Only Have An Attention Span If You Develop One 😂👍

I read all these stories in mine childhood. Great!

I first read Asimov as a teenager when I found 'The rest of the robots' in my grandfather's book collection. This was an anthology of short robot stories which had not been included in the 'I Robot' collection. Some of them were later included in other collections, including this one. I then had a hiatus and properly started reading Asimov's novels again in my twenties. He remains one of my favourite authors ever since. One of my favourite things about Asimov is how he makes up the rules of his universe, and then tries to subvert them, constantly looking and finding clever ploys of prodding those rules and testing their limitations. Most of the Powel and Donovan short stories, as well as the Susan Calvin stories are testing the limitations of his own Three Laws of Robotics, often in quite an ingenious way. But this goes beyond that. The modern reader will note the diffuse societal sexism and misogynism evident in the Susan Calvin novels (for instance, how her colleagues, especially Bogert, refer to her) which Asimov borrows directly from how things were in the workplace and in society when he was writing those stories in the 50s. But then, he subverts this by showing how intelligent and multifaceted a character Susan Calvin is and how she puts her colleagues to shame. In addition, although Asimov's writing style can be quite dry, with lots of 'talking heads' and exposition and not a lot of characterisation, he still manages to invoke strong feelings and create very moving relationships. The ending of Robbie, the Bicentennial Man, Powel's attempted self-sacrifice, the relationship between Elijah Bailey and Daneel Olivaw, or between Bailey and Gladia, are all so emotional and moving. Even the Mule's tragic story in the Foundation is quite evocative, although I love the Foundation series more for its ideas and chess-like battles of wit and deception and think that the Robot novels are better as novels with more 'human' characters. I think that Asimov himself liked them more too. In general, although I can see Asimov's limitations as a writer, and I can plainly see how some of his views were the product of his time, I appreciate his ideas, his wit and his essential humanism.

Well read :-)

Rodger Ram Jet invented the Ram Jet. That's why it's named after him.

Reader did an excellent job!

Why they don't read a bit faster is a riddle. Then we could not follow it at all.

That's a Lot of preamble, bro

is there a part 2?

I miss this old fashioned Hard Sci Fi where masses of the story is someone explaining realistic technical details like this. I found this kind of Science in Story as a huge part of the Golden age

The origin of the word is the Old Church Slavonic rabota 'servitude' ('work' in contemporary Bulgarian, Macedonian and Russian), which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *orbh-. Robot is cognate with the German Arbeit 'work'.

Narrator talking WAY too fast

terrible reader

Try .75 speed if trying to fall asleep

When I was around 12 (?) We had a VHS game based on the Lije Bailey / R. Daneel stories. A murder has been committed & you the viewer played the part of Lije. And depending on the choices you clicked on, there were hundreds of different possible endings. It was sooo cool 😎. I wore the tape out though.

Look at the necessity of it.

Read the minds of those whose memories weren’t erased. They’re going to be a problem.

Use my personality to make decisions. Guessing game, maybe, if you think we haven’t wasted enough of our lives.

Give the dumbass access.

Sit back light up, never put a fight up- You'd hold the whole world in your metal claws If it wasn't for the three laws, of robotics...

Yup … there are thousands of these great audios … AS ASIMOV PREDICTED .. WE HAVE THESE “ HOME INFORMATION CENTERS “ THAT WE CAN ASK ANYTHING !!!!!!!!!

we need to initiate and maintain face to face dialogue''groups''

3:56 !

Who is the narrator? His voice sounds familiar. Also why does this relatively obscure asimov book have a new narration and thousands of views and comments more than audiobooks of his more famous works?

Was the narrator on speed

Set playback speed to 0.75 for easier listening 👍

This has aged well 👌

Clark with an e has always been a dry writer. More about science, future technology, and cardboard people walking through that world. Best taken in doses spread far apart. Still, he has imagined things WAY before their time, and created worlds that still stick in my dreams since the 70’s

Turned it off after 57 minutes. Boring as hell.
