Kurt Vonnegut The Euphio Question
Kurt Vonnegut
Lu par Stuart Milligan
The Euphio Question is a thought-provoking short story by Kurt Vonnegut. This sci-fi tale explores the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by a group of scientists who attempt to manufacture happiness.
When a physicist plays the sound of dark matter during a local radio program, it lulls listeners into a euphoric state, akin to a large dose of sedative. As the story unfolds, the ethical implications of marketing this newfound product become clear, revealing the temptation to profit and control large numbers of people.
Abridged and produced by Gemma Jenkins, this adaptation was first broadcast on BBC 7.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
