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) (5 hr 49 min)

Reviews
A decent selection of stories
Akku
Some readings have better sound quality than others, it’s an older recording though so that’s par for the course. Some fine tales. Some repeats from other collections
A LibriVox Listener
Reading bit off rhythm but not bad tone to voice. Read a bit fast.
