Whoever is the narrator deserve much credit, best english narration i have listen till now

[RobOlling]

I started reading Asimov 50-ish years ago, when i was 14. Really loved it, but only now do i realize that the book was actually more than fun: it is great.

[swiftmatic]

I grew up reading Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, Simak, Zelazny, and other greats of the genre . Asimov still holds his place in my personal pantheon. I think that his exploration of human societies' relationships with technology is still quite relevant.

Thank you so much for posting these books! It reminds me of my junior year in highschool when I skipped class and found Asimov in the library! I subscribed and will follow your channel loyally lol. Thanks again!

[l-a-d-y]

Thank you so much for putting this together! I like the voice you chose!

[rickd]

Ironic, and fitting, that one of the Robot novels is being read by a robot...

[paulraymond]

He writes a masterpiece that terrifies ...especially as we the first gen to mechanically accept robots, despite them predicting our ultimate demise..he writes with amazing accuracy.

[jellyfishattack]

Thank you for posting these videos. I have forgotten these great books!

[mostill]

Thank you for doing a great service to the inquisitive mind. This novel was fantastic to listen to. The other novels u post are great to lose yourself to! You are amazing!

[barbarawise]

I don't normally like mechanical readers, but it is quite fitting for this subject matter.

[KillerBebe]

I read this as a kid, it is like a walk down memory lane.

[qwertyfiable]

Took me a few chapters to be sure this was being read by AI, rather than just occasional human error. I generally don't enjoy the idea of AI audiobooks but they are getting better and seems quite fitting for this story - like being read a bedtime story by your own robot.

Great job with this, Aetherial! The AI reader is amazingly good and adds to the experience of hearing a story about robots and how they may affect the course of humanity.

[criscross]

The AI reader isn’t too bad. I enjoyed the story.

[deloresgutierrez]

I used to have a little library and all of Asimov 's fiction works. ❤.

[ScottLSimon]

such good tech for phone calls and imaging - and yet no recording instruments in the robots at all? Seems like an oversight.

[fredkelly]

I thought I'd read all of the Robot books although that was a long time ago and quite frankly I don't recall much other than Caves.

[williammunford]

Will you upload the third book in the trilogy? Thank you for this by the way

[swiftmatic]

@3:10:42, Again, foreshadowing the Zeroth Law

We are less than a generation away from not caring if the narrator is not human. Maybe only a generation away from having citizens who only relate via the internet. View you soon
