The Body-Masters by Frank Belknap Long

In a future where emotion is engineered and desire is regulated, a respected surgeon begins to sense a flaw in the system he helps enforce. When doctrine collides with instinct, the cost of perfect control becomes impossible to ignore. The Body-Masters by Frank Belknap Long. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Thanks to David who recently bought us two coffees. “One of my favorite podcasts, and my favorite science fiction 'cast. Please add some more Asimov and Robert Heinlein. Your podcast has given me a new appreciation for Philip K Dick.”

Thanks David! There aren’t many more Isaac Asimov stories that are in the public domain that we haven’t already narrated, but there are a handful, we will find one and add it to the podcast as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there aren’t any more stories by Robert Heinlein left for us to narrate. Happy to hear that you have enjoyed the stories by Philip K. Dick, his stories are always fun to narrate.

If you would like to buy us a coffee there is a link in the description.
