Short Fiction ✨ By Robert Sheckley FULL Audiobook
Short Fiction. By Robert Sheckley FULL Audiobook
"Short Fiction" by Robert Sheckley is a collection of science fiction stories that showcases the wit, creativity, and thought-provoking concepts of this prolific writer. Although Sheckley may be less known today, he was a giant in his time, nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula awards. His stories blend serious themes with comedic elements, leaving a lasting impression on readers.
Here are some highlights from this captivating anthology:
1. “Watchbird”: In this prescient tale, Sheckley explores the idea of detecting murder before it occurs. Three years before Philip K. Dick’s “The Minority Report,” Sheckley introduces a world where watchbirds prevent crimes by identifying potential killers.
2. “Ask a Foolish Question”: Twenty-six years before Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Sheckley presents an all-knowing Answerer. People seek answers to life’s ultimate questions, and the Answerer responds. But what if the answer isn’t what they expected?
3. “A Strange but Familiar Country”: Set in a mysterious land, this story delves into the complexities of identity and memory. What happens when you encounter a place that feels both familiar and alien?
4. “A Supplicant in Space”: A thought-provoking exploration of faith and belief. When a supplicant seeks answers from an extraterrestrial being, the encounter challenges their worldview.
5. “A Thief in Time”: Sheckley weaves time travel into a thrilling narrative. A thief discovers a way to steal from the past, but the consequences are far-reaching.
6. “A Ticket to Tranai”: Imagine a world where you can buy a ticket to any destination-real or fictional. But what if the journey takes an unexpected turn?
Sheckley’s writing style is both humorous and stylistically rich. He crafts English exceptionally well, earning praise from fellow writers like Douglas Adams and Kingsley Amis. His stories transcend traditional science fiction boundaries, touching on philosophy, morality, and the human condition.
This collection includes all of Sheckley’s public domain short fiction, ordered by the date of first publication. Dive into these imaginative worlds and experience the genius of Robert Sheckley-a master storyteller who continues to inspire readers across generations..

It looks like AI is the future for Audio Book reading's ho hum. Ivon hoe by Sir walter scott audio books
Where are parts 2/4 and 3/4?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I want to read it, but I have a lot of other books and articles to go through. The best way for me is to listen to it, so thank you again for this effort
The book is narrated by John Dowell, an American who is married to Florence Hurlbird Dowell, an AI
holy cow, if i only knew, if only someone would tell me why! i respect the attraction of opposites, i say that in honesty, and i wish you all the best, sincerly, your voice was serine and ensenguing, but why would you pick the last book in the world that our creating god, by will or way of nature, has made you suited to? you see, the plum pie book was never published in audible form, you know, as an audiobook on cd or tape or digital file. so therefore you gave me hope when i saw you on google, hope to say farewell to ukridge and run in the opposite direction before pounces and touch me for a fiver. there is so many like you let lose on audible, standing in the way of the art itself and giving offense as well as a distinct odor of something gone wrong with the drains, holy shoot, do you sound like ukridge? god bless you and stay strong, brother, and stop doing this shit, how dare you enter the domain of jonathan cecil? oh well, piece, fiend! love from norway! and may your godgiven voice never be seen to be heard in light of day reading loud from wodehouse ever again, a slight cold in the head on both your houses

Study the Quran as well as the blBible and submit yourself to our Creator ☝️
Eric Dubay brought me here. I've been greatly interested in the topic of the archaic flat earth since December 2023.
cool
Dang. It's AI.😑
I take this as truth.
A lot of nothing
Thank you!
Thank you
Beautiful writing
even if she was highly selective in points of evidence ,its actually quite interesting as a hypothesis that the iquisitors actually sought for smth rather than nothing at all
Thank You for sharing this Wisdom from Annie Besant!!! 🙏🏾
You are so welcome
Got excited finding this audio book. 5 seconds in turned it off. AI doesnt work with this book at all.
Your theories are misleading
I feel uncomfortable having AI dictate something to me that I want to enjoy and image about… I feel unsafe letting AI take me to my special place
Thank you, I appreciate you! Thank you thank you!

Adore this but need real reader😂❤

@@Full-Length-Audiobooks thanks for letting me know, and I appreciate the amount of time you have put in making this long audio. great respect for you. God bless you
Dot, dot ,dot, if you can't do an audiobook correctly, don't bother doing at all.
Thanks for the upload. Sad to see you haven’t done any new uploads for awhile. I’m looking to forward to listening to this and some of your other books. It’s hard to find full books when it comes to Taoism , and Buddhism. ☯️☸️
Oh Lord a robotic narrator.
Proverbs 10:25 Living Bible 25 Disaster strikes like a cyclone and the wicked are whirled away. But the good man has a strong anchor.
Proverbs 7:1-5 Living Bible 7 Follow my advice, my son; always keep it in mind and stick to it. 2 Obey me and live! Guard my words as your most precious possession. 3 Write them down,[a] and also keep them deep within your heart. 4 Love wisdom like a sweetheart; make her a beloved member of your family. 5 Let her hold you back from affairs with other women-from listening to their flattery. Read full chapter Footnotes Proverbs 7:3 Write them down, literally, “Bind them upon your fingers.”
Depressingly mechanical. Only lacks the sound of gears and beeps at the end of each line.
Thank you, it’s so great, all Americans should listen.
Thanks for making this book available!! Much gratitude
😊
No one even read the book, if they did they would laugh at things like "promised land". He looked everywhere for a country for them, Argentina, Ughanda, Cyprus, Sinai...etc. Read the book before talking, it's his book, his words!!
Where's "A Thief In Time"?
Love these books!!!
The white man came to Hawaii and forced the Hawaiians their ugly religion. The gave then illness and stole their land. This story is lies and should be banned. Untruth🤬
Which translation is this?
This in not "the Zohar".
This fucking rocks 👹
Do we need human body
@ 1:51:43 it cuts and doesn’t follow the book anymore
Thank you so very much for your enlightenment i was always so frightened of death & the physical pain i would endure! I now have hope as my time drawers nearer! Thank you 🙏 God bless & much ❤️
When does it actually start? Listened for over 30 minutes for just explanations
Idk if you continued watching, but the description has time stamps in it
Incomprehensible for the first ten minutes. After that who knows?
Wow you did this ! Gratitude !
Dont know why the comments here are complaining abnout the "robotic" voice. Its still superb compared to the ones in windows, i've been trying to find this voice from this audiobook for ages, any chance you could share as to how you went about voicing the audiobook with this voice? Thanks, for all that you do!!
I think it's a human voice. An amateur reader not an actor. From NE USA. I think it is a librevox recording.
Am i missing something? It's kinda boring. Sorry... trying really hard
