Description

Enter a different world each day with this Sci Fi Sampler. The futuristic, bizarre, fantastical, sometimes frightening worlds imagined by sci fi writers each offer a chance to escape from the ordinary into the dazzling realm of the extraordinary. From classic authors like Jules Verne to modern-day writers like Cory Doctorow, sci fi writers’ work has been marked by each writer’s distinct vision of the world as it was, would, or could be. From the center of the earth to most distant star, these writers have dared to think way beyond the box to the far reaches of possibility—and you can discover those visions for yourself.

What’s a Book Sampler?

Book Samplers combine short excerpts from different books, and they’re designed to make discovering and selecting new books on DailyLit easier. They are created around unique topics to help readers find new books in categories they enjoy. Each book installment featured in the Book Samplers contains a link that lets readers instantly access the book on DailyLit to read or send as a gift using DailyLit’s gift feature. Readers can also easily add the book to their To-Read list on the DailyLit site. Reading a Book Sampler is like browsing in your favorite section of the bookstore—it’s a fun way to find that next great book. We’ll be updating the Samplers as we get new books, so you can keep up with what’s new in your favorite categories.
