Best Audible Sci Fi Books Of 2023

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein

Among the books that Robert Heinlein wrote, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is one of the best. It is a science fiction novel about a colony on the Moon which revolts against absentee rule from Earth. It is also a novel which explores some interesting ideas about human nature, technology and free will.

The main character in the novel is a computer super-geek named Mike who is responsible for overseeing a colony of prisoners on the Moon. Mike's efforts to become human are entertaining. He has a tragic backstory, however.

Among the book's other interesting features is the introduction of polygamy. A polygamous marriage allows extended families to form. The novel is a socially revolutionary piece of fiction based on the libertarian philosophy of dismantlein.

The book also features a first-person perspective from Manny Garcia O'Kelly-Davis, a computer repairman. This first-person point of view gives the novel a lot of weight.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Mary Shelley

Despite being short on plot and brimming with buzz-worthy details, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is a genuinely engaging read. Its many virtues include the fact that it is a fun read for all ages. Its gimmicks include a "moon" that doesn't really appear. In a nutshell, the book is a futuristic retelling of the American Revolution.

In the book, an asteroid hits the Moon, knocking it closer to the Earth. This results in an event that causes earthquakes on the continents and a cataclysmic event on the Moon. In addition to being the cradle of life, it's also a dumping ground for political dissidents. The book's title is a mouthful.

The Moon Is a Harsh mistress is a short story derived from a much longer work. It's not as good as the original version, but its tale of a high school sophomore named Miranda who is forced to decide whether to become a virtuous or virtuous. The story is told in the form of Miranda's journal.

Ender's Game

Whether you haven't heard of Ender's Game or are a veteran fan, it is one of the most widely read sci fi books in the world. Ender's Game is an action-packed novel that explores the conflict between the gaming world and the real world.

The Battle School recruiters search the planet for leaders and tacticians. Recruiters are in a constant quest for the perfect general.

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

Using the familiar science fiction trope of a generation ship, Rivers Solomon has created an insightful and powerful debut novel. An Unkindness of Ghosts is a novel about gender, race, and revolutionary change. It is the finalist for the 30th Lambda Literary Award and was shortlisted for the John W. Campbell Award.

Set in a far-off future, Solomon's novel explores the abuses of slavery and structural racism. The story is told from the perspective of Aster Grey, who is forced into servitude. This is a novel about race and gender, but it also shows how pervasive tyranny makes resistance necessary. This is a fascinating read that requires emotional preparation, but it is a fantastic novel. It is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to explore systemic oppression.

An Unkindness of Ghosts combines hard science fiction, social science fiction, and fantasy elements to create a brilliant novel. The characters are oddly mannered and brilliantly smart, but they are all working hard to maintain their dignity. This novel has a lot of elements to explore, and the author has a wonderful sense of characterization.

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Cixin Liu

Xiran Jay Zhao and S Qiouyi Lu are two Chinese authors who have made it big in the English-speaking world. Their eponymous novel Ball Lightning is an entertaining read. They've also got a ton of other novels in the works.

An Unkindness of Ghosts isn't just the best science fiction novel ever written. It's also one of the most well-researched and well-executed novels I've read in a while. In fact, I was so enamored with the story that I had to read the entire novel in one sitting. This is no small feat. Its tumultuous plot line makes for a highly entertaining read. I'm particularly fond of the characters and their backstories. I also like the way they interact with each other. It's no wonder that this novel was named best science fiction novel of the year by the World Fantasy Association.

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Erika Swyler

Using the novelist's wits to remix and repurpose familiar childhood themes, author Erika Swyler creates a smart, entertaining, and utterly readable novel. Its tale, based on the author's own childhood experiences, is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. The story begins with an 11-year-old aspiring astronaut named Nedda Papas. As her life progresses, she learns that her father, an eccentric physicist, has invented a time-altering device known as the Crucible.

During her time aboard the HSS Matilda, the ship that takes her to the far side of the galaxy, she becomes the only Himba to be accepted into a prestigious university.

Binti

Unlike the TV show which elicits a collective groan, the Douglas Adams megalodon is actually a hoot. Aside from being clever, the book is filled with witty riffs on life in general, from the dubiously privileged to the unenviable.

Binti is a book about a Himba girl's quest to obtain the all important Oomza Uni degree, a feat that's not without its flaws. She must leave her home, family, and culture behind to accomplish what's probably the most important task of her young life. The most difficult part is that she must traverse an intergalactic spaceship inhabited by an alien race waging a vengeance on her people. On top of this, she must contend with a number of other contenders, some of which she's more than willing to slay. And, like all good science fiction, her life is about to be in danger.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

Originally published as a self-published book, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet has been picked up by Hodder & Stoughton. This book is a science fiction space opera that explores the emotional connections between crew members. It is also the first book in the Wayfarers series. The story takes place in the middle of a tense diplomatic situation.

There are many layers to this book. The main focus of the novel is the crew of the Wayfarer. It includes a captain, a pilot, a doctor, and a tech. Each has their own back stories. The author has done a great job of weaving a good amount of humour throughout the book. The best part is that every member gets the chance to shine.

This book is not for everyone. It is more about relationships than mission. It is also a slow burn. It is a good start to a universe that will continue to be entertaining as long as you can keep up with the pacing.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Earlier this year, science fiction writer Adrian Tchaikovsky released his debut novel, Children of Time. This story follows the last humans on Earth as they seek a new home. After the Earth's population collapses, a sleeper ship called Gilgamesh enters the system to seek out a planet that is suitable for human habitation. However, a psychotic human / AI chimera refuses to allow humans to inhabit the planet. Instead, survivors are forced to live on a colony ship. The book also explores the evolution of spiders and the psyche of humankind.

The novel uses a variety of science fiction technologies, such as nanoviruses, stasis technology, and relativistic travel. It also uses the tropes of apotheosis and cultural drift. This is a 600 page novel that takes a long time to evolve. In the end, it explores the narrative possibilities of a world where humankind's evolution is halted by an unintended intervention.
