I also recommend 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's a hilarious and thought - provoking science fiction story. The audiobook is especially fun as it adds to the humor with great voice acting, making it a must - listen for science fiction fans.
You can try Audible. It has a vast collection of audiobooks, including many full - length science fiction ones. They offer a wide range of titles from classic science fiction works to new releases.
One highly recommended one is 'Dune'. The full - cast audiobook really brings the complex world of Arrakis to life. The different voices for each character enhance the overall listening experience.
