The Variable Man (Version 2)


Read by Phil Chenevert

(4.6 stars; 102 reviews)

Philip K. Dick wrote some great Science Fiction and here is an example. Published in 1953, in Space Science Fiction, t his story explores an earth that is rigidly bound both by centuries of single minded focus on war, and on what happens when humans have learned to depend entirely on a mechanical calculator/computer to tell them what to do. There is no room for a factor outside known factors, something to throw all calculations off. A man from the past. He fixed things—clocks, refrigerators, vidsenders and destinies. But he had no business in the future, where the calculators could not handle him. He was Earth’s only hope—and its sure failure! - Summary by author and phil chenevert (3 hr 6 min)

old sci-fi


(4 stars)

This is a pretty far-fetched science fiction story. If you're a technical wizard this will drive you crazy because it is so far-fetched. So many things are for lack of a better word kind of ridiculous but it made an interesting story. every so twister two in it that where it was interesting. The reader was very good and did his best to put some excitement in it. It's the kind of story you listen to when you really don't have to listen. enjoy.

Nicely read


(5 stars)

Great job by Phil Chenevert. Clear, crisp and easy to hear. A couple of faint background noises at the start of the second part but nothing disconcerting.
