Father of cyberpunk William Gibson’s original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third instalment that might have been after being leaked online. This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation - directed by the multi-award-winning Dirk Maggs - is the chance to experience William Gibson’s untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and aliens, as a completely immersive audio experience.

Great Story, Great Performance

This was well worth the subscriber price of admission: $6.26. The story branches well from Aliens. It's what Alien III, the movie, should have been. I look forward to the next installment. I guess that's my only complaint -- there should already be an Alien IV and an Alien V. I'd already have listened to them, if they were available!

War Is Peace! Freedom Is Slavery! Ignorance Is Strength! Big Brother is watching and listening. Yep, we’re talking propaganda, the fabrication of “truth”, the outlawing of dissent, the distortion of reality, endless war… and of course, thought crime. No we’re not talking about the goings on on 2011, were talking about the 1949 NBC University Theater’s adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984.

Good Primer
Revisado: 08-17-17
This production provides a :45 presentation of 1984. A well considered assessment is delivered about half way through, though I disagree with classifying the story as satire. For the uninitiated, listening to this before reading the novel will be helpful for following the plot. For those having read the story decades ago, this production will serve as a good reminder.

Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A groundbreaking account of accidents, near misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved - and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.

Informational, Compelling
Revisado: 06-01-17
This is a LENGTHY audiobook. Listeners should be prepared for that. It is an anthology disguised as a single story. The tales of nearly averted catastrophes are many, folded into the narrative of one Titan-II incident. I used the :30 rewind button numerous times to re-listen to important details.
Well worth the money & time spent.
I've known for years about the problems with the command and control of atomic weapons. I just didn't know how big those problems were.

In this thought-provoking masterpiece, H.G. Wells predicts the inventions that will inadvertently lead to mass destruction, forcing the world to "start over." You will see many similarities between H.G. Wells' new world and today's world due to the recent technological revolution. This stimulating novel will leave you wondering if and when the remaining predictions will come to pass!

Fantasy, not Reality
Revisado: 03-07-17
Contrary to the book's assertions, a united world cannot be derived from atomic war, and there are and there never will be large-scale classless societies. Still, Wells was apparently a driving force behind what would be the League of Nations. Great prose. Great narration. Well worth my time.
