About this listen
A chilling classic of mid-century science fiction, The Machine That Saved the World by Murray Leinster explores the terrifying consequences of messages sent across time.
When mysterious broadcasts hijack communication systems around the globe, military and scientific authorities are plunged into panic. Sergeant Bellews, a technician tasked with maintaining advanced experimental machines, finds himself at the center of an unfolding crisis involving intertemporal signals, biological catastrophe, and deceptive intelligence from an unknown future source. As warnings of a civilization-ending bacterial mutation emerge, the line between salvation and annihilation blurs.
Tense, cerebral, and uncannily prescient, this novella examines the ethics of advanced technology, the dangers of misunderstood knowledge, and humanity’s vulnerability when the future reaches back to rewrite the present. Essential listening for fans of classic science fiction, technological thrillers, and speculative tales of time and consequence.
