Classic Sci-Fi Tale "The Variable Man" | Time Travel/Military Story | Philip K. Dick

[@glorbojibbins2485]

Love these classics. Even the obscure ones, they just wrote better/different back then. The language used seems so succinct and easy on the mind while still being very descriptive. You should do the Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series and John Steakleys' Armor. Would be rad lol anyway i appreciate the stories.

That was cool. Can see it happening today. No one learns skills. Mr Dick was way ahead of his time.

Nobody learns skills!!!! Don't be silly. People have much better skills today!!! You sound like an old fogey!!!! Btw...I'm old!!! I know!

cheers, mates - thanks for this

[@larrywest42]

Thanks! Good voice. There are amusing anachronisms (e.g., relays > transistors). But most notable to me was that Cherakov's invention _obviously_ comes from world before social media.

Woohoo! Welcome to our sci-fi community!

[@paulom.b.ch.]

Very good indeed

[@KRYTEN451]

Many of Dick's early works are in the public domain. I will listen to this AI narration to see if I prefer it over the particular human narration of this novel I listened to earlier.

I agree with others here. This looks a lot like a flashier, better lit Forever Winter. With griefers. Indeed, this looks like a griefers wet dream. Not for me.

😊..this narration is AI ????...Ahhh looked it up..get it now 😅😂. Excellent 😮

... two minutes in and I have to say, Theodore, that voices like yours should stay 'robotic'. Differentian should is a must for our 'poor, simple' minds to adjust, adapt.

[@josephstapleton7537]

Have some trouble with the narrator's speed. There's no pause between changes in scenes. Very hard to keep up unless you are uber focused on the speech. Otherwise, well done.

With this great AI reader you don't have to worry about some illegal alien or legal migrant taking your job how are we going to build a wall for this one

Is it AI, or HAL? Too slow...too fast... cannot listen!!!! I'm going to listen....but only until it is finished!!!!

Well read, but a nonsensical story. It just is too implausibly written to suspend my disbelief. A shame, because it features some interesting ideas.

[@tonycucca4499]

A real pompous opinion honestly. Using the mindset of today on a story literally written 70 years ago. /sigh

@@Greenmachine305fk would that have to do with anything? The story is 70 years old. Your mindset and general knowledge presumably conform to modern day norms.
