About Science Fiction
Science fiction, or sci-fi, uses fiction and storytelling to engage with futuristic concepts, particularly those based on science or technology. Early science fiction dates back to ancient times, where fantastical elements take center stage; the Epic of Gilgamesh is often cited as the earliest precursor for our modern understanding of sci-fi. Others point to the Middle Eastern folk tales in One Thousand and One Nights as an example of early sci-fi, while others still focus on later works like Gulliver’s Travels. By the 19th century, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein exemplified tropes we now think of as science fiction. These texts strain far from our modern concept of sci-fi, though, which are ripe with robots, cyborgs, spaceships, and interstellar travel. The genre often dialogues with artificial intelligence, the future, and apocalyptic plots and settings. Science fiction audiobooks touch on existential fears of humankind and frequently encourage readers to question whether technology is here to aid or harm us. Contemporary science fiction, particularly after the 1990s, looks toward environmental issues and the larger impact of the internet, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Tap into the future by trying a science fiction audiobook from this collection.
