About this listen

Step into a futuristic vision of desire and illusion in The Ideal by Stanley G. Weinbaum—a thought-provoking science fiction novella that examines the pursuit of perfection and the cost of fantasy.

When Dixon Wells uses a revolutionary machine to visualize the "ideal woman," he’s captivated by a dream that pulls him further from reality. Guided by the eccentric genius Professor van Manderpootz, Dixon faces a psychological journey into obsession, love, and the harsh truth about human longing.

Blending romance, technology, and philosophical reflection, The Ideal is a brilliant exploration of how imagined ideals can distort the real beauty of life.
