There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own, or not too far into the future. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods to satisfy the palette of most any listener. </p><p>With so many stories, styles, and series to choose from, there’s an inclination to wonder, “Who is the best sci-fi writer?” Of course, that's highly subjective, and there are far too many talented writers to list in one place. We’ve put our all into picking just 14 of the best sci-fi authors of all time—a diverse range of writers who represent a few of our favorites. </p><h3><a href="https://www.audible.com/author/John-Scalzi/B001IGJOCA?ref=a_search_c3_lAuthor_1_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=RF4AX1VXKTRK4ZMCQS7P" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Scalzi</a></h3><p>John Scalzi has a delightful web presence through his Twitter account and blog, and luckily for fans, his sci-fi stories reflect the same passion and talent for crafting captivating narratives. It doesn’t hurt that his audiobooks are narrated by some of the best performers in the business either, making Scalzi's work a particular joy to experience in audio. Among his most beloved is the <a href="https://www.audible.com/series/Old-Mans-War-Audiobooks/B0073XG3JE" rel="noopener noreferrer">Old Man's War</a> series, a six-part saga depicting the various wars waged for control of the few planets in a universe that can sustain life. The series maintains an engaging sense of humor throughout—for instance, there’s his nickname for a group of geriatric recruits for space defense duty: the “Old Farts." If you're looking for an approachable and always-entertaining way to dive into the sci-fi greats, John Scalzi is an excellent place to start.</p><section class="block-wrapper_block-wrapper__uK_6b"><header class="mt-10 md:mt-12"><div id="" class="invisible-target-anchor_invisible-target-anchor__S9uwB"></div></header><div class="mt-10 mb-10 " data-asin-list="2vD3Hzt03kWhtA9V9P7noq"><div class="mb-8 mt-10"><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Audiobook","bookFormat":"AudiobookFormat","abridged":true,"publisher":"Audible","provider":"Audible","name":"Old Man's War","image":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BOt9XvN9L._SL800_.jpg","author":"John Scalzi","abstract":"<p>At 75 years old, John Perry is after a fresh start - so, naturally, he joins the army.

This classic work, a mainstay of high school curriculum in the United States, explores the moral implications of humanity's technological advancements by depicting a society in which books are outlawed and burned on sight. Bradbury was also the author of <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Martian-Chronicles-Audiobook/B00M4LR286" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">The Martian Chronicles</i></a>, a sci-fi novel constructed of thematically connected short stories.

Reviewers have compared its mix of high-stakes action and genre humor to such hits as <i>The Martian</i> and <i>Ready Player One</i>. Moreover, it’s one of those books that seems positively made for audio: Who else but Ray Porter (<i>14</i>, <i>The Fold</i>) could evoke geeky irony during a suspenseful battle scene, all while assigning unique voices and personalities to a pack of otherwise-identical clones? <p></p> <a href="http://www.audible.com/mt/BOTY-2016-SciFi/ref=amb_link_498233402_15?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_m=A2ZO8JX97D5MN9&pf_rd_p=2725520982&pf_rd_r=1X309XPA2VNPPC4A1HXV&pf_rd_s=center-26&pf_rd_t=101&rw_useCurrentProtocol=1&pf_rd_i=BOTY-2016">See all finalists in Sci-Fi</a></div></div></div></section><h3><a href="https://www.audible.com/author/Ursula-K-Le-Guin/B000AQ2M2S" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ursula K.
