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 39 min)

Robert Cottrell
From a time when fiction took an unintentional form of what is now fantasy. A set of studies about people in unusual situations
Good stories and readings
Akku
Mostly a good set of stories and mostly good readings. Some sound quality varies but on the whole a good listen
good stories but Raycyst
Bill Cosby
SF is a bastion of white cultural imperialism. By listening you are recapitulating the phalogocentric Euroimperialism that led to the death of George Floyd
