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) (7 hr 10 min)

Reviews
A nice collection of tales
Akku
One or two of these are more fantasy or horror than sci-fi really but a nice mix with only one really bad audio quality recording in there which I sadly had to skip.

Fun, short scifi stories. Great for my commute home.
