Living Space by Isaac Asimov - Isaac Asimov Science Fiction Short Stories

Having mastered probability lanes, man found an indefinite number of Earths—and everyone could have a planet all to himself, if he wanted. But there was one joker in the deal… Living Space by Isaac Asimov, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

Thanks to YouTube listener Sackanutz who recently bought us $10 worth of coffee, “Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!” We did and thank you. There’s a link in the description if you’d like to buy us a coffee. It is greatly appreciated.

Here’s the answer to our trivia question, Who authored the 1869 short story that introduced the first known fictional description of a space station? The answer, Edward Everett Hale who wrote “The Brick Moon.”

Our story can be found in the May 1956 Science Fiction Magazine. You’ll find the sci-fi goodness on page 3. Living Space by Isaac Asimov…

Why did I narrate this story? Two words, Isaac Asimov. We receive a lot of requests for Asimov’s stories and we do everything we can to keep our listeners happy. Although the idea of one family living on an entire planet seems farfetched it does seem like a request some people would make on an overcrowded earth if technology made it possible. This story has the feel of Philip K Dick’s The Man in the High Castle in some ways and the government lying to its citizens, while it may be infuriating, isn’t anything that comes as a shock. I enjoyed narrating Living Space and I hope you enjoyed listening to it.
