About this listen

In a future where therapy is automated and absurdity reigns, Bad Medicine by Robert Sheckley delivers a razor-sharp satire of mental health, technology, and the human condition.

Set in the year 2103, the story follows Elwood Caswell as he seeks help for disturbing thoughts—only to find himself entangled with a malfunctioning therapeutic machine meant for another species entirely.

Witty, unsettling, and thought-provoking, this science fiction tale blends dark humor with biting social commentary, inviting listeners to question the limits of sanity and the meaning of true connection.
