Science Fiction Literature Lecture Series Audio Book Review

October 31, 2011 · Audio Books · ·

There sure is a huge difference in Science Fiction Literature or the modern categorize “Sci Fi” and you have to be careful when you tell people you like Science Fiction, as they are liable to categorize you a wacko. The Genre has certainly widened in the Twentieth Century and it has become very standard thanks to Hollywood making some of these classic novels into foremost movies.

Movies such as Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Gattaca, Logan’s Run, 2001, and most recently the Blockbuster Matrix has done wonders in expanding the base of readers and fans of the genre. Of course to truly know how all this came to be, perhaps it might be wise to know the entire history. So, I’d like to recommend a very excellent Audio Book Lecture Series, which can be found on the NetLibrary System, easily accessible online once you have a library card to most foremost libraries;

“From Here to Infinity: An Exploration of Science Fiction Literature – Modern Scholar Lecture Series” by Drout, Michael D. C.; Publication: Prince Frederick, MD Recorded Books, 2006.

This audio book modern lecture series is 7 hours and 33 minutes long, and you might have to listen to it twice to really get acquainted with the history of Science Fiction. It clarifies all the authors, their styles, concepts, trilogies, series, and the sub genres, many of which are a small out there, not very politically right and way outside the mainstream; such as Sci fi horror and fantasy.

Drout was very careful to give proper tribute and acknowledge the genius of the greats like Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Series and the brilliant and copious facility by Arthur C. Clarke and others. I hope you will delight in this audio book as much as I have.
