H. G. Wells
(4,522 Sterne; 68 Bewertungen)
Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired. (Summary by Gregg Margarite) (6 hr 35 min)

Not enough gay sex
Bill Cosby
(4,5 Sterne)
Just because a story has an excellent plot and great narration does not make a good story. A good story needs to have lots of gay sex. Authors failed to craft stories around gay sex. They are all literal Hitlers. Hitler did not have gay sex. Don't be like Hitler. Gay sex is a prerequisite to social acceptance in today's world. These stories are all outdated and have a world view that fails to require all protagonist to be gay. This is a terrible message.
some great tales
