Its a fantastic audio book. i'd like more sci-fi movies that are better books if you catch what im saying. recently i've listed to: the whole dune series, all the books arthur c clarke wrote regarding the monolith/space odyssey stuff. i have the expanse on deck after the current book is done. any thoughts?

To add to 1984: - Brave New World - Fahrenheit 451 - Animal Farm - Harrison Bergeron (this one is pretty short though, could just read it)

Could also add to that: - We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin - Day of the Triffids

Also Starship Troopers or Stranger in a Strange Land, both by Heinlien

Like a lot of Heinleins books, Stranger in a Strange Land is good up until it starts straying into the authors 'free love' fetish at which point it becomes almost unreadable (though not nearly as bad as some of his other books. To Sail Beyond the Sunset is just spank material he got published).

I'd suggest Moon is a Harsh Mistress instead.

Kinda seems like the opposite message of starship troopers

ST was intended as satire. Heinlein hated the military industrial complex.

I loved the book. The movie is decent, but COMPLETELY different.

Edit: I’m wrong

Good to get both ends of the spectrum then.

Along the lines, Armor is also good. I don't remember the author.

I'm a professional audiobook narrator. If there's something you'd like to see (illegally) serialized on bitchute, let me know. It will be slow going in between paid work, but I'd be willing to do stuff that hasn't already been recorded and made available.

How do you get into that business? I've always been interested in trying to do narration or voice work.

[–] • 3 pts

I can't get into voice work. You have to pay to even audition and I'm not willing to do that. For audiobooks just go to ACX.com. You sign up and they give you the rules and then you audition. Just be wary of stuff that looks too good to be true, there are a lot of Indian scammers.

Maybe C.S. Lewis' space trilogy? Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Perelandra (1943), and That Hideous Strength (1945).

Or you could read (listen to) some more Phillip K. Dick, like A Scanner Darkly, or Ubik.

For books that have been made into movies that as audio books are very reminiscent of the movie versions, you could try No Country for Old Men, or The Road, the latter is a bit dark though.

I'll look up more PKD, I think his writing is fantastic. He adds a lot of color to his pages.

A Scanner Darkly as a book is fairly similar to the movie, though I may be biased by having seen the move first. Ubik is pretty weird.

THESE BOOKS ARE SO FIRE C.S. Lewis' space trilogy is so slept on

Ender's Game was really good, one of my favorite books. I think there's like five of them in the series.

Will I turn it at a time cruise if I read these?

His dark materials by Phillip Pullman is the greatest audiobook of all time

Spectacularly read, much agreed. Very anti-Catholic. Odd magical interpretation of Paradise Lost

Wasnt this on Netflix?

The novel is 100x better and the aforementioned audiobook is very well read.

The rest of Philip K Dick is tremendous. He has a number of other stories which were adapted. You might enjoy them.

Galactic Pot Healer and Ubiq stand out in my memory. I read all of it.

The man in the high castle was bizarre. I haven't watched the Amazon adaptation.

I'm uncertain about what else there is, at the moment. Too tired.

Variable Star by Spider Robinson was great.

I liked the Mistborn series by Sanderson. I'm not the biggest Sanderson fan, but the series opens with a trilogy, and the latter books are great.

Cs Lewis's "Space Trilogy", and his Dark Tower book are interesting.

I was able to enjoy the Twilight books, despite the many problems with the story. It was still better than modern tv and movies.

Jonny Mnemonic, Neuromancer, Snow Crash, lots of the cyberpunk stuff is pretty incredible.

The Amazon adaptation of man in the high castle starts off great but falls down in the last season. Worth at least one play through.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

If you want one of the best stories in the genre, try "The Stars My Destination" by Alfred Bester.

If you had the Coincidence Detector addon, you would see that the name (((echoes))).
