Über diesen Titel

Science fiction can often seem to be pure imaginative fantasy with only the trappings of science. But many authors are more fluent in real science than many readers and viewers may realize. With the success our smaller Audible Original course on this subject, we thought it was time to extend the topic and present a more expansive look at the fascinating intersection of fiction and reality, which is what we have set out to do with How Science Shapes Science Fiction.

Professor Charles L. Adler of St. Mary’s College of Maryland was the perfect choice for this subject, as he is both a longtime science-fiction fan and a real-world scientist. Professor Adler’s talent for using literature to shine a light on science - both the accurate and not-so-accurate versions employed by creators, spanning two centuries - makes this course a great survey for fans of both science fact and science fiction.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I enjoyed the course but at times the sci-fi element moved to the background too much and you were left with a lecture that was 95% a surface explanation of complex physics concepts and some phrases that, yes, this features in sci-fi novels.

Personally, I also think there was too much focus on space. Robotics and AI was touched on but not discussed in much depth, and I don't believe there was anything on biological engineering or virtual reality.

A good number of lectures were very interesting though, and it's clear Professor Adler greatly enjoys the subject.

Some great lectures but too much space for me
