It is the year 2045 and the world is overpopulated, leaving resources scarce. Ernest Cline’s futuristic tale (that’s also a love letter to 1980s pop culture and a thrilling, twist-filled adventure) is matched by pitch-perfect narration from Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Wil Wheaton, making for a nonstop nostalgia ride that’s a blast from start to finish. Ready Player One is an absolute must-listen for any sci-fi aficionado.
Taylor’s Bobiverse series is sure to leave you hooked. And what’s not to love? With a wide range of characters, ever-evolving generations of Bob, and an absolutely unmatched narration by the brilliant Ray Porter-who just so happens to also be a former Narrator of the Year-the first installment in Dennis E. Named Audible’s Best Sci-Fi Audiobook of 2016, We Are Legion (We Are Bob) is a wild tongue-in-cheek interplanetary romp that is wildly popular among listeners. Now the intellectual property of Applied Synergetics, Inc., Robert soon learns that he’s to be deployed as an interplanetary probe, hunting for life in the deepest realms of space. But when he wakes up 117 years after succumbing to a fatal car crash, his consciousness has instead been installed as the AI of a computer matrix-the Bobiverse. Robert Johansson, a wealthy businessman, elects to have his head cryogenically frozen after death so that one day, when technology allows, he’ll be able to be reanimated and pick up where he left off.
