Children of Time
Featured Listen
Children of Time, critically acclaimed science fiction novel, burst onto the literary scene in 2015. The book's exploration of evolution, artificial intelligence, and the nature of civilization earned it the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award in 2016. Tchaikovsky's novel stands out for its unique approach to alien life.
Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks for Fans of Dune
Ever since its publication in 1965, Frank Herbert's Dune has set the bar high for epic science fiction. In fact, Herbert's beloved novel is considered to be one the best sci-fi books of all time. Dune was the recipient of multiple awards, including the inaugural Nebula Award for best novel in 1966. And in October 2021, more than 50 years after the novel's initial release, fans of Dune are being treated to a film adaptation, directed by Denis Villeneuve.
