Historia
"The Machine Stops" is a short science fiction story. It describes a world in which almost all humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a "cell", with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are skeptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose needs supersede their own.

Historia
A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: "I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

Revisado: 05-10-24
I've got a Tulsi fan longer than she's been an ex Democrat. listening to her speak I often said that's a Democrat I would vote for. when she left the Democrat Party and showed up at a CPAC I was even more impressed. she had a real chance for running at the president but Hillary Clinton is evil of the world embodies and will do absolutely anything and I mean anything to have her way. I highly recommend this book there are truths in it but people on the left simply don't know that millions of people who just get their facts from CNN and the Democrats and the few I have never heard. if you're on the left, if you are a Democrat, and you've noticed that things are not the way they used to be that this is not the party you grew up with you might want to read this book find some encouragement, and consider making changes. after all when you look around and realize that you're home, your beloved Alma mater, your favorite restaurant, have turned into dangerous places, generators of upset obscene ideas, and no matter what it says on the menu it's always poison, and it's time to make some changes

SPOIIIILER ALERT :
back in the day MCB used to just warn people and make up stories for the news. and the present day monster hundred books they disappear people by killing them out right. man women children if they witness something MCB had to make sure they never talked about it.
OK U CAN READ
first very disappointing thing Oliver Wyman did not read this book. second disappointing thing the person that did read this book is definitely no Oliver Wyman. I understand it's a woman's story a woman needed to read the book. I'm a woman. I get it! but I can think of a few that would have been better. A Gifted male narrator like Oliver Wyman or Simon Vance, can produce the intonation of the woman's voice without making goofy sounds to do it. but in this case the woman reading a male voice was more than unconvincing. it was cringe-worthy. in addition for Alabama accent sucks. and that's from with someone who lived in Alabama for more than a decade can summon up the accent and still has close ties to people in the old country. just a few minutes in as much as I love Earl harbinger I decided the faster he was off the scene the better. and perhaps I could finish listening to this book.
disappointment the second. a monster hunter book I am sorry to say, loses a lot of its flavor and voice with a co-author. banter missing. and what is this warning crap? there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to be terrified or in the least bit worried about dozens of people who have seen the unseeable.
disappointment the bleeping third! what was the story even about? chasing down a werewolf that leads us to a hag, granted I am only on chapter 12 and I'm less than careening towards the end of this book but I'm thinking of skipping ahead just to see how it all wraps up and what it was all for. I love Larry's work I do! this one feels rushed hand it over Road hard to put away wet and handled the kid gloves. not what I'm used to.

correct pronunciation matters
Revisado: 11-24-23
early on I easily dismissed the pronunciation of l i v e, as live ( as in I live in a house) where it should have been live ( as in live), but these types of mistakes persist through the entire book. I realize people say potato and potahto, but you'd think certain very familiar Middle Eastern names would be familiar enough from Decades of news stories and life reporting, that even a youngster like our narrator would be able to get it right even if he only Googled a news report we're in the reporter on screen said the name correctly. Tom, next time please record your own book.

Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945. . . . Francis was human once, but now he's an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .

this time the movie was better
Revisado: 10-14-23
and actually grabbed at this collection after seeing black phone. I listened to the first story first though. button eyes, the story within the story is a darn creepy Tale. and the creepy tale that was about the creepy Tale is even better. Jason Blum ought to get a hold of this one too! I'll be perusing the other offerings soon. sadly this may be the last really good collection of stories or even good writing from Joe. has he has broke woke and is using his fiction as a platform with a stinking fad cause and promoting a wrong headed biased racist ideology that mirrors fascism and promotes anti-patriasm. so very sad because I was really really enjoying his fiction! the fireman, very coarse but very good. didn't enjoy it as much as NOS482. and lighter top the collection of stories called Full Throttle. and as good as all those stories are my favorite part of the collection is the introduction entitled who's your daddy? it's great and what a fantastic childhood Joe King had. so enjoy this collection of soured poison apples rotting and oozing with bugs and spiders and worms LOL the phone ringing off the hook and nightmares waiting by the door. I'll add to this essay Explore More territory of these 20 modern ghost stories

the scape goat's account
Revisado: 09-06-23
this is a well-established play-by-play from the ground and from the command center there isn't a closer look without being a front and the boots behind a face shield behind the badge.
that said there are a few necessary holes. necessary because the author could not be anywhere but where he was and therefore could not be other places to know certain things that he's coming for them.
but first if you didn't know that Nancy Pelosi was the last word on whether or not the National Guard could be given space to stand around the capitol on January 6th as requested by the president of the United States Donald J trump, then you're going to hear it. you're going to hear the author kick Trump a few times because of his perception of what Trump said or did or didn't do but this is a place where he was not and therefore unavailable to see for himself what was said and what was done. but that aside the book end of the before January 6th and the after January 6th is that the responsible and culpable Speaker of the House Master at Arms denied the protection because she thought it wouldn't look nice to have the National Guard standing around the capitol as a presence to deter mischief. the other end of it is after when she calls for the great protector of people and property of Congress and herself to resign and blames him for everything including the National Guard not being there!
this is a ground level View same from behind the badge and in the middle of the chaos the horror the sweat the blood and the tear gas. and it is a play-by-play a phone calls made and declined a phone calls made and put off a phone calls help ask for again and again and again until finally one phone call held the words someone's been shot now will you let us in for help? I can't say I love this book this isn't a book that you enjoy. but it is a book that should be read. it is a book that should be studied in high school. and civics class. it should be talked about it should be discussed openly. the thoughts and ideas examined the things that failed and the things that worked illuminated and learned from! but that probably won't happen. I'd be surprised if one in 100 Democrats actually pick it up and read it. I'd be equally surprised if one in 50 Republicans pick it up and read it. I appreciate the author reading his own book and walking me through these events with his own words his own voice his own memory his own heart is eyewitness account given to the court of public opinion and patriotism.
very grateful for your efforts and your hard work, and for this Illuminating account. I feel it goes hand in hand with the film what happened January 6th as well as 2,000 mules. now a note to the author about the actions of President Trump. sir you were not on the disc or anywhere you could listen to the president's speech but I got to hear it twice because I live in Dalton georgia. on the 3rd he gave the exact same speech with very little deviation. and I can tell you with absolutely positively full assurance and no hesitation that he in no way caused for any violence or incited any violence or Riot of any kind he didn't even incite anger! he never did! crowds would come and to a sheltered Boo or lock her up but that was as hostile as anything ever got! Gathering crowds in the thousands and tens of thousands easily everywhere he went even when he had to park the airplane on the tarmac and step out onto a Podium brought up to the airplane door and speak to the masses from the airplane itself as people were led into airports to greet him there were never any riots no one ever left one of those rallies were opportunities to be heard and went out and committed violence against the Democrats in their city. but we're not in committed violence against anyone for that matter. his words on Twitter or what you were allowed to see. I promise you that. was something was deleted that would have been helpful but wasn't deleted by the president. his words as soon as they could be filmed his words to stop and go home to not do this to stop came as fast as they could. and who was allowed to see it? wasn't it taken down from Twitter wasn't it taken down from Facebook wasn't it taken down from YouTube? the only reason it survives on the internet today is because people like me downloaded it and keep uploading it from time to time. news channels like Fox and the conservatives downloaded it immediately and uploaded it where it cannot be taken down. so sir the benefit of the doubt and the consideration of all the trials that we've seen dealing with the criminals of social media including the Twitter files. including Congressional testimony exposing this fraud. your face and the president and the vice president were not ill placed. and if you're frustration is with his tweets are in action please consider that he never failed to act before. why does he prevented from acting now? thank you again for this book God bless you. oh by the way I know about this books and her interview with Tucker carlson!

Anti-Capitalist Propaganda - Woke to the Extreme

social relevance immediate and woke
Revisado: 08-21-23
struggling to love it. hating the language. Hating the woke subject matter. i.e.climate change / global warming which is a complete fiction anyway. but it's inserted here for the sake of social relevance, social justice, political correctness and the posturing of feelings over truth.
second politically correct and SJ base tag is the same sex relationship. and if I listen long enough I'm sure I'll discover that the dirty rotten government oversight engine is conservative based. that might be wrong about that this is a wild attempt at a dystopian storyline.
the script reading is so so. there were some Headliners in the cast that I was looking forward to hearing but I haven't heard them yet. and I'm tired of waiting and although with some objection it's not a difficult story to listen to. but I'm going to find something else it's not as objectionable to spend my time on. there are lots of good science fiction stories out there that were written before the age of Dei and WOKENESS, social justice or political correctness or the moral posturing of feelings over facts. I'll simply close by saying girls having girlfriends and boys wanting to be girls is a liberal left-wing communist fad propagated by telling people who they are and how they feel and people being stupid enough to let someone else decide those things for them. just like in the story. someone else in control of everything. and I want to go and find one of them and listen to that instead. maybe I'll start a new series by Larry Correia. or perhaps something politically truthful and relevant to today's situations that isn't woke or generated by the liberal left.
whatever it is, it isn't going to be the rest of this.

Historia
Jack Diller is just one more struggling actor on the road to nowhere. He’s got an agent who barely remembers his name, his ex-girlfriend has hooked up with a Silicon Valley dude, and the milk in his fridge is so far past its sell-by date it’s historic. The only way Jack can scrape together a bare existence is by delivering food to exactly the types of successful people he wishes he could be. Then, one day, a very strange audiobook shows up on his phone.

the best fiction is rooted in f a c t s
Revisado: 03-08-23
this thing starts with a food delivery. we've just come out of nearly 3 years of food delivery. there's nobody on the planet who doesn't know that absolutely everything that you can get picked up and delivered to your door is sealed up so that any tampering or munching on on the part of the driver is obvious.
window of disbelief number one firmly slammed shut.
the cop stop. let's say a city cop moving from exit to exit on the state highway, is out of his jurisdiction. he sees somebody doing something incredibly heinously bad like running somebody off the road and he pulls them over. he's out of his jurisdiction sure but you know what he has an addition to his badge in a cop car? a radio. you know who you can call with the radio? that's right a state patrolman who has you guessed it jurisdiction. they wouldn't just let him walk away. and by the way it would be a rare thing for city cop to be on a County Road or a state road unless he was transporting somebody or had some official errand that was taking him from one city to another. but you know that jurisdiction thing you just hold them there until the people who have jurisdiction arrive easy peasy. window of disbelief number two slammed firmly shut. so far the only good thing about this story is Ron paulman. I like Wil Wheaton I do but he reads in One Tone heavy sarcasm and that's all he's got not even sure I'll finish it

it has the bones of a good old horror story..
Revisado: 03-08-23
all in all it's kind of a Nifty story. it's scary. it's even a little bit fun but Mayberry takes a kid so in spite of his bed influences is in fact a really good guy, and flips the script on him and reverses his nature entirely and not because he's a werewolf but because at the end of the day people can be jerks. but is it a story about about a werewolf? or is it a story about the justification of extraordinarily bad behavior? and I can't expound on this anymore you'll just have to listen to it. have fun. there are no language and content warnings but there is language and some content that our listening viewers may find disturbing. but I have a feeling for reading Mayberry and you know who he is, that's probably why you're here. have fun. and you can put your brain and cruise control for this one.

The best stories pull readers in and keep them turning the pages, eager to discover more—to find the answer to the question: "And then what happened?" The true hallmark of great literature is great imagination, and as Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio prove with this outstanding collection, when it comes to great fiction, all genres are equal.

Revisado: 02-23-23
I wanted to place this comment here as I'm beginning to listen to this collection. I listen to the sample which was Neil Gaiman reading his introduction. got to a certain point where the sound began to fade out and I said to myself well darn! looks like I'm going to have to spend a credit on this so I can hear the rest of meals introduction! and the rest of this story! and then listen to these stories!. but the selling Factor wasn't necessarily the collection itself but rather that I wanted to hear the rest of Neil gaiman's introduction LOL LOL LOL I shall review at the end of things
bit for now... I simply must know the 4 words!
