Story
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
In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.

Story
A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis - an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life - including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door - becomes increasingly unpredictable.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
