(4,422 Sterne; 128 Bewertungen)

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) (3 hr 59 min)

A good selection of stories

Some real gems in this collection. As ever- if there are ones you don’t enjoy or have heard before - skip and move on, plenty to enjoy here.

Master of None

Enjoyed Master of None especially towards the end when there was a newcomer to the park.
