It is a good flick. It's set on a colony world that came under attack by a rival, all came from Earth.

I feel like this is where the inspiration for Terminator came from too. At least the glimpses into the future from the first movie.

Philip K. Dick is a brilliant author Thanks Dark Cosmos

Seems to be exactly what the Russian dictatorship wants to see happen to Europe and the americas.

Lol that was pretty good. You can see the end coming from a mile away but still pretty good lol

bloody loving it

Sci-fi is often predictive of trends. The "claws" sure sound like AI driven drones, and how likely is it the AI might evolve their charges. I thought of "Screamers" about a 1:30 into the story.

You are a great nerrator..

Excellent 😊

The irony of an AI 'reading' a book about deceptive AI. As a side it's worth trying to get the AI to be consistant with the voices it gives characters.

2024. Robot AGI is being developed as I write this. This fiction is about to become a documentary.

Love this type stories ❤

Thank you very much

Just wondering if this is AI narrated? Many words have incorrect pronunciation (eg PREsent instead of preSENT).

Yes it is! This is only true for most of our classic stories. Otherwise, we're still Team Human!

It's the way dialogue mixes characters. It's difficult to follow for me. 6 months from now I bet it's much better ...

A great story that reminded me of Terminator and Screamers. Thanks for this Dark Cosmos.

Hay love your ch and classic sci-fi. I was wondering have you heard of a story called Spores its set in london and its basically a body horror about a fungus that takes mankind ( & the environment surrounding us inc buildings)on a horrendous journey of evolution and mutation. Its a really great story , if you get the chance try listen too it and it would be amazing if you inc it in your classic scifi section .x❤

Did I hear correctly, twas written in 1954. Dick had great insight.

It really throws me off when the AI mispronounces a word in the first sentence

Same here. Overall OK, but with "scope for improvement". What disturbed me most, we're the voices of the characters - the 'reader' didn't distinguish between them. Often I had to guess, who was speaking. - AI still has a way's to go.

Reproduction rate seems to be the key to survival - - Cat, Rats, Dogs, Rabbits, insects - quick gestation short maturity time - - - Elephants & whales - long gestation and a number of years to maturity - - Humans - 9 months and a significant time for maturity - - Robots - just time to put the pieces together and instant maturity - - It seems Humans, elephants, whales, tigers, etc with a significant time for gestation, limited off spring and needed time for maturity are all doomed for extinction .... Yes, the insects will be the survivors...

Hah, I was wondering if this went into "Screamers". Guess it did.

Screamers was a good movie based off this story. Now think about the drones being used in warzones around the world today....

Screamers and creamers

Book seems to have continuous background music which is an unecessary distraction. I gave up with it. Shame because it is a good story.

Terminator much?

The first 4 minutes are littered with so much unnecessary/irrelvant information and lack of logic (in my eyes) that I won't continue. Not my type of book, but I'm happy for anyone who enjoys it nevertheless.
