Description:
Step into the end of the world with Apocalyptic Sci-Fi, a massive 20+ hour audio collection of vintage science fiction stories that imagine collapse on every possible scale. Cities fall, civilizations crack, strange new survivors emerge, and humanity faces its darkest hours in tales that are haunting, gripping, and remarkably ahead of their time. This collection brings together an extraordinary lineup of classic authors, including E. M. Forster, Philip K. Dick, H. G. Wells, Alfred Bester, Robert Silverberg, Fritz Leiber, Frederik Pohl, John W. Campbell, Lester del Rey, Ben Bova, Harlan Ellison, and many more. From the underground dread of The Machine Stops to the cosmic finality of Finis, from the bitter irony of Time Enough at Last to the eerie warning of The Moon is Green, each story offers a different vision of disaster, survival, and what remains when the old world is gone. You’ll hear nuclear nightmares, planetary ruin, lonely last-man stories, bitterly funny post-apocalyptic twists, and unforgettable glimpses of the future imagined by some of the greatest writers in classic sci-fi. Featured stories include Breakfast at Twilight, The Star, The Golden Man, The Last Evolution, Adam and No Eve, Let the Ants Try, Small World, Strange Exodus, and many more. If you love vintage science fiction with high stakes, bold ideas, and visions of the future that still feel unsettling today, Apocalyptic Sci-Fi is an essential collection. More than a playlist, it’s a journey through the ashes, the silence, and the stubborn will to endure. Duration - 20h 55m. Author - Ben Bova. Narrator - Scott Miller. Published Date - Friday, 23 January 2026. Copyright - © 2026 Scott Miller ©.
