I was very absorbed by the first book, 'Against Stupidity.', the story of two universes that find a way to share a technology that apparently provides infinite free clean energy for the entire Earth and, presumably, similar benefits for the other universe. I approached this book with absolutely no knowledge of the story, or the way it was laid out, in terms of the three books. To me that is what entertainment ultimately is, and why I think Asimov is underestimated and not given enough credit. I cannot recommend them highly enough for someone looking to escape into a place that makes you forget about the everyday. Asimov wrote these to amuse himself primarily, and as a reader you almost wish they would never end. Unlike much of what we see on TV and movies, the stories are more to be savored than change your life. Although they have commentary on the human plight and our interaction with each other there is no pretension of climax or overly dramatic ending. They are detailed, clever and help you escape into another world. This is my last book in my re-read of the Asimov Series after many years, and it dawned on me why he is not given more credit as a writer. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? You will have to keep track of the characters closely, but overall Scott is excellent. His strength is not in performing different characters but in adding gravity to the dialogue. Scott has done most (unfortunately not all) of the Galactic Empire and Foundation Series and he does a superb job. The Asimov series used William Dufris for the Robot Series and he did a good job as well. Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare? It was an interesting way to comment on humans, but in an indirect manner. I found the depiction of the creatures in the parallel universe very touching. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Gods Themselves? Intrigue, imagination, cleverly written and thought provoking Asimov is the master and this is him at the top of his game. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Science Fiction. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Asimov the gods themselves
