Description:

The Grom desperately need a new world, and Pid the Pilot believes he’s ready to succeed where twenty other expeditions have vanished. His mission is simple—reach Earth’s atomic energy source and activate a Displacer, opening the doorway for a Grom invasion. But nothing about the green planet matches the warnings from home, and Pid quickly discovers threats stranger than weapons or guards. On this world, every shape, creature, and sensation tempts the Grom toward something forbidden—the intoxicating freedom to become anything. As his disciplined crew begins to unravel, Pid fights to stay true to ancient laws that define his very identity. But the deeper he ventures into Earth, the clearer it becomes that the greatest danger isn’t the humans at all. It’s the shapes the Grom were never meant to explore—and the joy they bring. Robert Sheckley was one of the most imaginative and influential writers of 20th-century science fiction. Known for razor-sharp satire, inventive alien cultures, and stories that twist in unexpected directions, Sheckley built a legacy of smart, fast-moving speculative fiction. His work appeared in the biggest magazines of the era and went on to inspire generations of writers, filmmakers, and futurists. Across novels, short stories, and scripts, Sheckley excelled at blending humor, danger, and philosophical questions into compact, entertaining tales. Keep Your Shape is a perfect example of his style—funny, inventive, and deceptively thoughtful. Duration - 45m. Author - Robert Sheckley. Narrator - Scott Miller.
