Can’t all be gems

Lovely selection of old sci-fi. Lots of these ideas have passed into tropes now, but these were the original masters — they range in quality of course, and a few politically incorrect moments definitely date them. Dick and Herbert were highlights.

Great narrators, at least

Many of these stories were tedious, if not outright dull. The voice actors were all wonderful, though.
