Parable of the Sower
Featured Listen
Parable of the Sower is a groundbreaking work of speculative fiction that has left an indelible mark on the literary world since its publication in 1993. Set in a dystopian near-future ravaged by climate change and social upheaval, the novel follows the journey of Lauren Olamina, a young woman with hyperempathy who founds a new belief system called Earthseed.
Featured Article: 12 of the Best Sci-Fi Series in Audio
From the furthest reaches of space to the microbiology of pandemics and gene manipulation, to the future implications of technology for societies similar to our own, science fiction is a fascinating genre that offers listeners a wide variety of ways to access its themes. In looking for the best sci-fi audiobook series, it can be difficult to know where to start due to the genre's sheer number of iterations and variations. But what these series have in common is an acute devotion to telling a good story, as well as fully building out the worlds therein. The writing is enhanced by the creative and impassioned narration.
