About this listen

Step into the imaginative worlds of classic science fiction with this collection of witty, thought-provoking, and visionary tales.

From Fritz Leiber'ss humorous "What's He Doing in There?” where Earth's first Martian visitor causes a cultural stir over the most basic of human rituals—to stories of robots, post-apocalyptic futures, mind-bending technology, and mysterious islands, these stories blend sharp social satire with timeless sci-fi adventure.

Encounter vending robots on the streets of New York, witness the dawn of nuclear-powered space travel, and unravel mysteries that challenge the boundaries of reality and humanity. This is for you if you love retro science fiction, Golden Age classics, and speculative fiction with a twist, this anthology entertains, surprises, and inspires curiosity about the world, and worlds around us.

Futures on the Edge is perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, and Black Mirror. Each story delivers a quick but potent shot of Leiber's razor-sharp imagination and biting commentary on the human condition.
