Histoire
One of the most extraordinary, imaginative and ambitious novels of the century: a history of the evolution of humankind over the next 2 billion years. Among all science fiction writers Olaf Stapledon stands alone for the sheer scope and ambition of his work. First published in 1930, Last and First Men is full of pioneering speculations about evolution, terraforming, genetic engineering and many other subjects.

Histoire
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Histoire
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Guns, germs, and steel might have transformed us from hunter-gatherers into modern man, but booze, sex, trash talk, and tripping built our civilization. Cracked editor Robert Evans brings his signature dogged research and lively insight to uncover the many and magnificent ways vice has influenced history, from the prostitute-turned-empress who scored a major victory for women's rights to the beer that helped create - and destroy - South America's first empire.

Durant lucidly describes the philosophical systems of such world-famous “monarchs of the mind” as Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire, and Nietzsche. Along with their ideas, he offers their flesh-and-blood biographies, placing their thoughts within their own time and place and elucidating their influence on our modern intellectual heritage. This book is packed with wisdom and wit.

Histoire
China Miéville doesn’t follow trends, he sets them. Relentlessly pushing his own boundaries as a writer - and in the process expanding the boundaries of the entire field - with Embassytown, Miéville has crafted an extraordinary novel that is not only a moving personal drama but a gripping adventure of alien contact and war. In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak....

Description
This new edition of Ted Chiang's masterful first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, includes his first eight published stories. Combining the precision and scientific curiosity of Kim Stanley Robinson with Lorrie Moore's cool, clear love of language and narrative intricacy, this award-winning collection offers listeners the dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar.
Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change-the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens-while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy. In the amazing and much-lauded title story (the basis for the 2016 movie Arrival), a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memory recollection. A clever pastiche of news reports and interviews chronicles a college's initiative to "turn off" the human ability to recognize beauty in "Liking What You See: A Documentary." With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty and constant change, and also by beauty and wonder.

Enjoyed most of the stories
loved the first story a lot and a few of the others. I would say "understand" and the final story both felt more like ideas than stories. I would say that's my largest issue with the book as a whole. It spends a lot of time explaining the idea to you so you understand the implications of what's going on, but I enjoyed most the stories which actually had things happening in them. "understand" was really a low point for me. it's so focused on the authors musings on the way someone who is gaining intelligence would think. it really fits I to the Ender's game style of sci Fi where the protagonist is a genius and is in a battle of mental wills with someone else, where they are both predicting each other's moves and we are reading about their thoughts that they have in 3 seconds over the course of a couple minutes of the recording. even though I mostly mentioned negatives I loved this book a lot and it had cool ideas.

Robotic performance
The female performer sounds so robotic that it ruined the experience. Not sure if it is a technical issue but it really ruined a good book.

Brilliant
I was turned onto this by my brother. I listen to a ton of Audiobooks (click on my name to see my Listener Page) and this is a legitimately great SciFi short compendium. Very intelligent stories incorporating strikingly clever Science Fiction ideas.
The reading (from multiple performers) is necessarily variable, but overall nearly flawless. This is a 10/10 production.

I read Liking What You See
I read "Liking What You See" for a required reading. It was so thought-provoking. I thought for sure I'd feel leaning more toward one direction on Cali, but I was left delightfully conflicted. Being able to see so many well-rounded perspectives enhanced the division within the plot--it made the debate and struggle realistic.

Bad narrators, pretty good stories
This short story collection features some really cool ideas but the two middling narrators make most of them feel like a soulless slog.
Stick with the physical copy, if anything.
