Micromegas

By: Voltaire, Audible Sleep

Narrated by: Prentice Onayemi

If we were as tiny as ants to another being, what would they make of our philosophies? The great satirist Voltaire imagines alien visitors who have opinions.

Bedtime stories are narrated by the world's most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don't stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on, but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.

A Brilliantly narrated version of Voltaire‘s “Micromegas” which delves into PERCEPTION and leaves the “necessity” of our very existence left hanging... That is a poor description. listen, ponder, and perceive ;-)

Outstanding story. So interesting though it is a fantastic (and effective) “bedtime story”.

Narrator has a great voice for falling asleep (in the most complimentary sense possible). The storyline was thought provoking and dreamy in itself — great for bedtime

It was amusing to listen to. My first encounter with Voltaire.
He must have blown ed peoples minds back when he first wrote it. But then we aren't from Micro me gas' planet. 😍

I slept through it

I honestly have no idea if its any good. His voice is annoying at first and the story, and him, sounds stupidly ridiculous but im asleep within 5 or so minutes of turning it on.

Not bad for sleeping seems to work. Not good for entertainment, makes sense. try it
