Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired. (Summary by Gregg Margarite) (4 hr 48 min)

Reviews
Donald Blackburn
Please only use readers whose first language is English as some of the accents are appalling and prevents the story from being enjoyed.
lacks diversity inclusion and equity
Bill Cosby
The fact that none of these stories are about gay BIPOCs in space shows just how backward and Raycyst these authors were.
A fair selection of sci-fi tales
