Sort by

Join us in the 2025 Sci-Fi Reading Challenge at Postmarked from the Stars! This year, our exploration of science fiction's diverse realms includes a lineup of captivating titles spanning various sf subgenres. From under-the-radar classics that shaped the genre to bold explorations of identity, survival, and society, we’ll traverse sci-fi’s boundless imagination—journeying through fractured multiverses, post-apocalyptic futures, corporate dystopias, and utopian experiments. Along the way, we'll encounter rebellious androids, interstellar castaways, extraterrestrial tricksters, and thought-provoking visions of self, power, and human connection.

This year’s lineup also celebrates a range of perspectives, featuring visionary works from Korean and Chinese authors, groundbreaking stories from trans and nonbinary writers, and powerful narratives from female sci-fi pioneers—each bringing a unique lens to the genre’s ever-expanding universe.

Our selections span decades, from mid-century satire to '80s and '90s speculative classics, all the way to the inventive and socially incisive sci-fi of today. Together, they chart the evolution of the genre, showcasing how sci-fi continues to push boundaries, reimagine futures, and reflect the anxieties and hopes of their time.

Each month, we'll showcase a different title, inviting you to delve into thought-provoking discussions and immerse yourself in these fantastic tales. Discover the universe of sci-fi with ease—each title is available as an audiobook via Libro FM.
