The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Short Science Fiction Collection 050 by Various; Helen M. Urban; Karen Anderson; R. R. Merliss. Read in English by readread; Martin Reyto; Tommy Howell; Bill Yallalee; Bellona Times; Charlene Modeste; Edmund Bloxam; Tom Weiss; Greg Laughland; James Bickers ; Andrea Coffee; Ryan Snyder Science fiction is a genre encompassing imaginative works that take place in this world or that of the author’s creation where anything is possible. The only rules are those set forth by the author. The speculative nature of the genre inspires thought, and plants seeds that have led to advances in science. The genre can spark an interest in the science and is cited as the impetus for the career choice of many scientists. It is a playing field to explore social perspectives, predictions of the future, and engage in adventures unbound into the richness of the human mind. - Summary by Amy Gramour
