Super and really well narrated for Libravox. I am making a point of commenting when theres a really good narrator on these because its only fair to point out these enjoyable ones so others can listen without passing it by due to the general standard of recordings. Great story Great narrator!

Nobody wants to live this way, but its necessary. How true.

Metropolis, this story, real life. The masses are our demise it seems. Thanks for putting this out.❤️✨

I love the woman who made this site. ❤. Her pic is awesome!

I found this channel purely by accident.I don't often go for science fiction.But this was good.So I will try another.

He in fact was and it was what led to a lot of his self destructive nehavior. He saw visions of different futures and alternate timeliness, He couldn't tell them from reality a lot of times. He tried to write much of it down, most of his stories are based on these visions/hallucinations. Our greatest futurist.

Cats are the most popular animals in the world. It's no surprise that the videos with them attract huge numbers of viewers - this shouldn't be a cause for concern, on the contrary, I think it should be reassuring.

I know it's my own neurosis but I can't listen to this when the narrator is so obviously mispronouncing 'leadies'. The word is used so often too. How can you read so many other references to 'lead' as metal and not realise it's the same pronunciation?

Annunciation, inflection, pause. This reader has been doing audio books for years and still hasn't gotten better. I understand these are free but Jesus Christ at least try not to bore listeners with your uninspired voice. It's so monotonous and flat. Stop trying to sound like William Shatner. Do a normal voice

I think that's a little bit unfair on Mr. Margarite- being dead 7 years does make improving rather difficult. Nevertheless, I personally find that with a baritone voice and relaxing delivery, his performance is well suited to a late evening listening, particularly where the storyline is grim. Yes, there are more energetic narrators but often I find them to be over the top and coming across as trying too hard. Regards
