Accessed on September 22, 2012: “The radio play adaptation by WDR from 1969 is also well done. Since the story is told in a frame - a robot psychologist tells a reporter about the events - the proportion of dialogue is very high. A soundscape was hardly worked out, but this underlines the thought experiment aspect of the story, so it is an advantage. A “sound attraction” is of course the QT1 robot, whose voice has been nicely “robotified” using analog technology; a treat for retro-futuristic nostalgics. The speakers have been chosen with care and play a nuanced game; The psychologist's spokeswoman in particular stands out positively: Her voice is extremely pleasant and personable, her emphasis gives the event a beautiful, additional dramatic dimension.
