This is a very cut down adaptation, and the sounds quality is consistent with the time of the recording of 1953, i.e. not good by today's standards.
A weeping prophet.
Sounds like what 2021 USA could be like.

This audiobook sounds like it was recorded in 1953 with an iPhone next to transistor radio. I understand this is an original but let’s keep the originals for the radio history collectors and share a noice reduced version for online listeners. This was really difficult to listen to.

Felt like I was watching a movie… very easy to follow and relate to in today’s society. It also shows some underlying quality of humans in society and how heavy a task it is to challenge the status quo.

Frightening and terrifying is this story of the monster of the Age of Aquarius: Totalitarianism! This presentation is excellent. I am overcome with fear!

Might be told very differently from the book but it's the same story and I really like the creepy music.
