About this listen

Arthur C Clarke is without question the world's best-known and most celebrated science-fiction writer. His career, spanning more than 60 years, is one of unequalled success. Clarke has always been celebrated for his clear prophetic vision, which is fully on display in this audiobook, but there are also many stories that show his imagination in full flight, to the distant future and to far-flung star systems.

I've always loved Clarke. He is the master of Hard Sci-fi and the king of the SciFi short. This collection is both well written as would be expected and well delivered by multiple readers.

this was a collection of unexpectedly good short stories. I thought that because they're old, I'd know most of their themes but the style they're written in is entertaining and there are plenty of surprising stuff we don't see in modern sci-fi anymore. it's a lot cleverer and well explored.

With different readers/voices all of a high standard of delivery and a very good variety of stories in typical Arthur Clarke style, I found this worthwhile listening.

Very enjoyable

I grew up with these stories and had forgotten most. They were serialised in a magazine in 70s called Speed and Power.

ACC was way before his time. A scientist writing fiction but you always felt what he put over was very possible/probable.

the narrators and stories are great but there is a millisecond only at the end of one story before the next starts. Also the chapters are not labelled.
