Look out for racist/eugenic undertones
Performance was great, and while a lot of these classic sci-fi stories are amazing, 'The Marching Morons' and some of the other stories in this collection perpetuate racist/misogynist narratives that made me deeply uncomfortable. I would really appreciate it if the most problematic stories had disclaimers at the start of them, warning listeners that these stories are products of their time.

dissapointing
It was a letdown after volume 1, it was missing that very special magic. A very poor choice of stories and the one about Jupiter I have no idea what it was about.

I found nothing I cared for
This is perhaps personal taste, but this was a rambling mishmash of uninspiring stories. I quit halfway through.

Onegreatbiglonguninterruptedaudiofilewithnomarkers
I ordered this and its previous volume on the presumption that Audible had bothered themselves to format it in some way. They haven't. As a result you've no idea what's on the file. it's a total of 43 hours of continuous speech, and labled "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2" etc.
You've not a clue what's what's playing and what might be next, and they haven't even included text to help you sort it out. As a result, although the content is great, your chances of finding (or even knowing about) a given story are negligible
Can't recommend for any purpose.
