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!

K Dick was a time traveler or dimensional traveler. He knew some shi. Reads like 1984.. freedom is slavery and always the thrill of victory

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.

[too gOOgle it] CLiCk...[lol] TiC-ToCK DING→ The 2007 National Pet Owners Survey, conducted by the American Pet Products Manufacturer's Association, broke down the pet preferences of Americans. I n the United States→, people own: 142 million freshwater fish. ■88.3 million cats. ■74.8 million dogs. 16 million birds. 24.3 million small animals. 13.8 million horses NOTE: in doing this search I found several "SEPARATE" websites quoting the same stat's just as I have[c&paste] ...exactly ha, only the scope and\or years varied 2007 to 2019 w\same [EXACTLY] numbers ha-uhmmmmmm.... Notable; Asian countries are densely populated, there aren’t as many households with pets as in other parts of the world. China ranks as one of lowest pet populations (11 million cats and 26.8 million dogs), while Japan has more pets per capita (9.8 million cats and 13.1 million dogs). World Wide its DOGS !!!! YeS! Our tried and true best friend, the dog! Pet dogs don’t beat out cats, fish, or birds in sheer numbers, but more households have at least one dog in them than any other pet, making dogs the most popular pet in the world. Recent surveys show cats are a close second, followed by fish (12%), birds (6%), and other pet types (6%). And that is the rest of the story...now we know.....or do we???!?!!?!? he he he...

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
