- Security (novella) by Poul Anderson
In a world where Security is all-important, nothing can ever be secure. A mountain-climbing vacation may wind up in deep Space. Or loyalty may prove to be high treason. But it has its rewards.
Published February 1953 ~ Space Science Fiction
Parts of this sound indredibly relevant to actual events.
Great narration , one of my top 3 favorite readers that add the 1950's era quality to the reading , nice inflections spot on time .
@@jonshepherd2550 Greg died 2012 I think, he got more robotic in later years, Mark Nelson my #1 Phil not bad
@@jonshepherd2550 👍 true, Mark is consistently the best I've found, am 🇬🇧 uk so some pronunciation is slightly off 😀 two nations separated by one language and all that lol..but at 66 the eyes get tired mate
@@jonshepherd2550 lol pronunciation, I'm cockney but living Yorkshire, bet we git some accent between us 😆 🤣
Possible spoilers:
The first twist was super obvious but I'm glad they had the secondary twist, which may have also been guessed at by many but still gave the story a little more depth.
This is pure gold ! Thank you for this upload !
Terrific story
...so the race for EV battery tech started in '53 😳
Oh man! I spotted that picture by fluke in the thumbnail, off in YT suggestion sidebar, where I saw it first in Relic Radio's Science Fiction section a while back and spent fruitless hours trying to track down where that picture came from. Now I know.

"The subject of dielectric polarisation has been classified" well yes it has been, for many years. Not any more.

The parables are insanely close to the global empire being built as we speak , the loss of basic constitutional rights , being arrested & held for no reason , constitution torn to shreds , the all seeing eye of the central scrutinizer watching & listening but we never know where .

just your standard run-of-the-mill police state...
To be fair, that is nothing new. This has been happening since the dawn of man. We live in the safest, most free times in history though.
This isn't t say that things are great, but things are getting better. People just need to be willing to stand up for what they believe in and stand united against tyranny.

Hahaha! They won't. The United States is the new Nazi empire, and _has been_ for 16 years. It has a propaganda machine that masquerades as news, it does false flags on it's own civilian population, and lies about the motivations for all of it's wars.
The US was in Syria to remove Assad from power. They wanted to give the Golan Heights to Israel so Genie Energy could mine it's oil. Genie Energy has an on it's strategic board of directors a bunch of ex government officials and a very influential propagandist.
Things aren't getting better, they're getting worse. The Nazis had their little boom time economy, but by 1950, the nation was destroyed, and remained that way for 1/2 century. The same will happen with the US, with it's ignorant populace, or maybe it's populace is just plain morally bankrupt. Hard to know at this point.

You are right. Just some folks are still asleep. “The people can not be all well and informed”. Tomas Jefferson.
His name is Paul? I'd always thought it was read the way it was spelt.

The strippers began with a make believe space suit. Ha ha cool line, another excellently written story by this author, pity about the weird narration!!! Peace out
Why did you muffle your voice so much?
What is wrong with this narrator? doesn’t he understand that monatone delivery is so difficult to listen to? There are many notes to the human voice. you can almost set a metronome; its robotic.
@Gingersnap. 100 % agree. Could almost be a parody of the original 'Captain Kirk.
