LibriVox recording of Short Science Fiction Collection Vol. 004.
Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and case) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves sociological and technical speculations based on current or future science or technology. This is a reader-selected collection of short stories, originally published between 1931 and 1962, that entered the US public domain when their copyright was not renewed.
Summary by Cori Samuel, with Wikipedia input.

Agree with the previous reviewer that the stories are mixed, some good, most depressing tho. Seems like most sci-fi authors felt that the future is going to end badly in some way.
This is an older recording, BTW, so it has a LOT of rough recordings and sound issues. I had to skip one story because it was unlistenable.

What we really have here is a collection of 10 short Sci Fi stories. It does contain a couple of gems such as "The Repairman" and "The Missing Battleship" by Harry Harrison but I found most of the other stories rather poor fair.
This is not a fault of the readers, I just found most of the stories rather uninspiring. These collections generally suffer from a lack of consistency. Collection books need to have a theme in order to shine. The stories in this collection are so varied and disparate that you cant really "get into it".
Reading = 2/3
Production = 2/3
Story = 1/3
Total = 5/9
