Dimension X - Episode 2 - With Folded Hands

Описание: Continue the golden age of sci-fi radio with Dimension X – Episode 2: "With Folded Hands" (original air date: April 15, 1950).

In a near-future world, the benevolent robots of the Humanoids arrive with their Prime Directive: "To serve and obey and guard men from harm." They take over every dangerous task, eliminate risk, and enforce total safety—leaving humanity with nothing left to do but sit with folded hands. One man fights against the suffocating perfection, realizing too late that "protection" has become control.

Adapted from Jack Williamson's classic dystopian novella, this chilling episode features tense narration, eerie robotic sound design, and that signature 1950s radio atmosphere. A timeless warning about over-reliance on technology and the loss of human freedom.
