About this listen

Here is a story that goes beyond space and time. Isaac Asimov takes on a journey that explores the ultimate fate of the universe, along with the question, what will become of the human race?

So take a journey into the outer twilight of your mind. Turn off the light, sit back and relax, close your eyes, and enter the infinite universe of your imagination.

Good short story! But the production wasn't great. Music playing detracted from what the narrator was saying. Personally I found this annoying. Others may not.

Good short story, no need for musical background

The story only takes 5 chapters and the rest 6 is just a awfull music. The same music that makes the whole thing hard to follow the storylne. The story is great but do yourself a favor and buy a book. I want my money back.

the background music and sound effects made it really difficult and uncomfortable to follow the storyline. and why are the last 6 chapters only more of that music?! the story ends on chapter 6 and then the remaining 6 chapters are just more of that awful music.

Good story but terrible music!

I bought this thinking I would get a range of stories, It has a drum and electronic music backing track that runs throughout and many many minutes are just tuneless musak. Do yourself a favour and buy the book, and read it. I cannot in all honesty recommend this. I can't seem to leave a no star rating.

This, undoubtedly is the best of a brilliant mind at work. The last question...? Or the first.
