Life in a Thousand Worlds by William Shuler Harris ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Life in a Thousand Worlds by William Shuler Harris audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In this early 20th century voyage of speculative imagination, Rev. W. S. Harris invites listeners to leave Earth behind and travel by a mysterious journey of the soul from world to world across the solar system and into the stars. Moving from the Moon's crowded cities and their uncanny way of surviving, to Mars and its brutal lessons in monopoly and oppression, to the giant vistas of Jupiter and the strange beauty of Saturn, the narrator studies each civilization as a living mirror of humanity's own strengths and failures. Every stop brings startling biology, daring inventions, and sharply drawn social systems: floating metropolises, worlds that have solved medicine, planets trapped under ruthless 'trusts,' and societies so transparent that even hidden thoughts can be brought to light. Part travelogue, part moral fable, and part political warning, Life in a Thousand Worlds uses wonder and satire to ask what makes a people free, healthy, and good - and what might await beyond our small world if we do not learn those lessons.
