- The Stars, Like Dust Audiobook, by Isaac Asimov, read by Stephen Thorne -
Earth is a radioactive wasteland and a tyrannical empire rules over many planets. The novel follows the adventures of Biron Farrill, a young man who escapes from Earth after an assassination attempt and tries to find out who killed his father, a rebel leader on the planet Nephelos. Along the way, he meets Sander Jonti, a mysterious agent who helps him evade the Tyranni, the ruthless rulers of the empire. He also falls in love with Artemisia, the daughter of the Direktor of Rhodia, a planet that is secretly planning to revolt against the Tyranni. Biron and his allies discover that there is an ancient document hidden somewhere in the galaxy that could inspire the oppressed planets to fight for their freedom. The document turns out to be the United States Constitution, a relic from Earth's past that has been forgotten by most people. The novel ends with Biron and Artemisia finding the Constitution and deciding to join the rebellion against the Tyranni.
I love all Asmiov, as I look each evening at the stars out my bedroom window I long to hear stories of the stars and space. I searched for Stars like Dust. Read this book many times a very long time ago. Now I can listen. 😊
Favorite author by far, intricate descriptions of small details in a giant galaxy🌌
My experience is exactly the same as yours… Read it years open and now the best part of my day is listening to the audiobooks on TH-cam and 4:38:05 getting carried away by Asimov

After reading all the Foundation books years ago, I did have occasion to ask myself what the best form of government would be to "guide" the next Galactic Empire after the "one thousand year interregnum" of the Foundation. A government "of the people" after the fashion of the First Foundation surely has flaws, if not fatalities, as Alcuin of York and Socrates pointed out and which recent events in American politics has clearly and alarmingly exposed most undeniably by the exploitation of the Republican Party of that segment of the American population. And no matter how quixotic the form proposed by the Second Foundation might be, it is still nothing more than "a rule by a certain class" of people. The ultimate vision of Daneel, of course, is the best but, unfortunately, impossible today. I wonder still.
I love how ideology makes everyone think they do have an understanding, an upper hand on the comprehension of the other part of society. Republican or democrats from an exterior view looks everything but democratic anyway. The best model is still in all context participative democracy from the Swiss model or local smaller models. Until now there is no better system to express the view of the citizens may those views be wrong or right history will judge but at least its a consensus
Surely the Americans cast aside what is best for all and elected a megalomaniac who wants only what is best for him. I believe American democracy has crested and is now ready to collapse.

So this perfect document which will bring about world peace by uniting the people. So how is that working out for you in 2024?
Holding steady if we can get cult weirdos to leave it be...or leave. Hence Asimov's reference to the document. Bureaucratic infiltration was underway in Asimov's time.

Interesting name of your channel; I don't know what to think about such a combination of words & cultures.
?
Cultures? 🤔

You sound like a commie scab
How stupid could Gilert be???
I think this is by far his worst book, like a weak parody of an E E Doc Smith: maybe if I'd grown up in a regime that made children make pledges to a rag everyday I'd feel differently, but since I don't drink vodka, didn't get taught about lebensraum and know how to spell colour properly, that wasn't the case.
You mean color? America!
@@mostill4605 Uck yeah! Hehehe I always hum Team America when I see that exclamation mark (shriek? bang? two peoples separated by a common tongue)
So you would probably be speaking German if it wasnt for us. Arsehole
It has to be taken in context. Look at when it was written. Much of what he wrote about did not yet exist in previous Scifi. Some only exists now in our time. It is written in a stilted English that isn't used anymore.
@@StantheInspector I feel the context is that it is the immature work of a budding author. He _became_ a fine author, but wasn't when he wrote this. The plot is twee, the characterisation facile. I much enjoy his later work, but this less so (I've listened to the first couple of hours again before responding in case I had been in an odd frame of mind when making the first comment)
