While this sounds very Earth-bound (and of course it is) and limited to an earlier epoch of sci-fi, much of this recounts how colonization occurred on Earth. Look especially how it unfolded in the Americas and Australia.
This is a positive review. If this production feels disjointed then read up on the book itself. I have not (yet) read the book. This production felt like separate small stories with their own separate morals .... Entertaining and thought provoking each one, but ... disjointed. So a quick check online on the structure of the book and how it came about. Now it makes sense why it felt disjointed. I shall listen again with that knowledge and read the book. A fairly damning image of how us "civilised" humans have behaved in the past when colonising "new worlds" on earth, and probably will behave if we do colonise another planet. Sadly not James T Kirk Star Trek world; maybe the best thing we can hope is the Martians have bigger guns than us when we do land there. A well produced and entertaining production. I have read some Ray Bradbury and his work always feels very slightly off kilter; the real world but not quite. You think you know the comfortable world he is depicting but there is something ever so slightly ... strange there that you can't quite put your finger on. This will leave me thinking about the subject matter long after listening to it.
Brilliant. And sadly an excellent prediction of what would happen.

The books are fantastic, better than this…
Good❤
Listening to it I don’t recognise much of this.
