H. G. Wells is rightly regarded as one of the founding fathers of the science fiction genre. This compilation of nearly 20 hours' duration comprises four of his finest sci-fi works, and they really need little introduction. They are, in order: The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon and The Island of Doctor Moreau. They are complete and unabridged and narrated by Greg Wagland.

Story
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Story
Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Benedict Cumberbatch reads the enduring classic of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. Gregor Samsa wakes to discover that he has turned into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. He attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repelled by the horrible creature he has become. First published in 1915, Kafka's darkly comic novella explores concepts such as the absurdity of life, alienation and the disconnect between mind and body.

Story
One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, a genius; Gail Wynand, a newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire; and Dominique Francon, a devastating beauty.

Publisher's Summary
George Orwell's nightmare vision of a dystopian world has become more apt in these modern, chaotic times. Casting a pall of oppressive dread from the very first sentence, this classic audiobook takes hold of your imagination and stays with you long after the last four words are uttered.
Big Brother is watching you....
1984 is the year in which it happens. The world is divided into three superstates. In Oceania, the Party’s power is absolute. Every action, word, gesture and thought is monitored under the watchful eye of Big Brother and the Thought Police. In the Ministry of Truth, the Party’s department for propaganda, Winston Smith’s job is to edit the past. Over time, the impulse to escape the machine and live independently takes hold of him and he embarks on a secret and forbidden love affair. As he writes the words ‘DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER’, his personal rebellion begins....
George Orwell’s masterpiece is the definitive dystopian novel and one of the most influential works of the twentieth century.

very dark and dystopian
I doubt in 1984 people could relate to it but in 2020 with our phones listening and tracking us, it seems George Orwell did a great prophetic job.
the reason for 4 stars is cause it's just a narration of a dystopian future on and on and on. after sometime it was like ok i get it, can there be some drama. there was a little drama when Winston met Julia but it hardly felt something will happen. just kept the same darkness and monotone (not narration but story) all the way to the end.
feeling depressed after hearing it.

A Very Near Future
Although seemed like a work of fiction, George Orwell must have seen the future. A haunting and terrifying tale, beautifully written & narrated. The last sentence of the book sent a chill down my spine.

Mind bloggling, intriguing!
double plus good 😉.. Makes you think unimaginable possibilities of social situations world could get into. It challenges what we consider fundamental nature of humans, societies and governments. Definitely something everyone must read and learn to cherish the freedom we live in.

Fact or fiction?
now I know I'm not the first to wonder this, but this piece of fiction for 1950 seems oddly familiar from some news I've seen recently... Incredible writing and a ridiculous political philosophy explained so beautifully.

Still relevant
Though it was written in late 1940s, it is still relevant. The book echoes the objectionable practices discriminatory policies pursued by various government across the world.A must read to understand the psyche of governments (whether democratic, communist, dictatorial) across the world.

1984 - Captivating storyline
The narrator had done a great job in keeping us captivated. The story seems very relevant for the current day when every movement of ours can be tracked and where we are just one crazy authoritarian government away from turning our world into the fictionalized world of 1984.

Brilliant and insightful. A great book narrated superbly.
The corrupting aspects of power that have lead to dystopian states throughout history and really makes you wonder if humans can ever govern communities successfully, peacefully and lovingly. All lovers of Noam Chomsky will love this book.

Timeless! As relevant today as after World War 2
1984 takes Totalitarianism to its deepest and kills any hope of resurgence in such situations. It is a great description of where things may go if we are not careful.
