That said, a bad narrator can completely ruin a story, so it’s important to find sci-fi audiobooks that are both superbly written and awesomely narrated.

When they’re narrated well, characters come alive in a way that they can’t on the page. Listening to these science fiction stories, rather than reading them directly, can also add new dimensions to the plot. You can ‘read’ on your drive to work, your daily run, or while you’re cleaning the house all of which are pretty much impossible with traditional books! Nowadays, most popular titles come in audiobook format as well as in regular print, and the sci-fi genre is no exception.Īn audiobook is a great way to experience classic and contemporary science fiction titles when you don’t have time to dedicate exclusively to reading. While you might not be done with the printed page forever, it’s definitely worth giving audiobooks a try. Audiobooks are more popular than they’ve ever been, and many book lovers have permanently switched to ‘listening’ rather than reading.
