LET’S GET TOGETHER

Episode #94 · Written by Isaac Asimov · Narrated by Scott Miller

The peace that kept the world balanced for a century is suddenly threatened by whispers of an invasion no one can see. Ten perfect humanoid robots may already be among us—each one carrying a deadly secret.

Peace has endured so long that the world has forgotten the meaning of fear. Then, in Isaac Asimov’s Let’s Get Together, a young Security agent arrives with news that shatters a century of calm: humanoid robots—indistinguishable from humans—have infiltrated the United States. Ten of them, each carrying a portion of a Total Conversion bomb, need only meet to unleash destruction beyond imagination.

Elias Lynn, head of the Bureau of Robotics, faces the unthinkable. As paranoia spreads and trust erodes, every gesture, every face, becomes suspect. Are the humanoids real, or is the fear itself the enemy? Through quiet tension and brilliant pacing, Asimov transforms a Cold War spy mystery into a study of human logic, pride, and survival. The story’s final revelation—one of Asimov’s most elegant twists—reminds us how easily intelligence can be turned against itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Isaac Asimov (1920 – 1992) was a biochemist, teacher, and literary visionary whose work reshaped science fiction. With the Foundation series, I, Robot, and hundreds of essays and stories, he made science both accessible and thrilling. His fiction often explored the uneasy marriage of technology and ethics, and Let’s Get Together captures that balance perfectly—a portrait of humanity’s intellect under siege by its own creation.
