I am looking for scifi novels based on real scientific concepts, but with easy to follow plots and characters.

My English level is proficient in a professional setting, and I have no problem reading academic, medical or scientific articles in English.

I love watching documentaries on BBC, but I sometimes struggle watching dramas and sitcoms without subtitles.

I am mainly trying to find audio books that I can listen to while driving. I am half way through listening to Carl Sagan’s Contact on audio, it is great and not too difficult because I’ve already watched the movie many times.

    “Real scientific” Is Hitchikers real life yet? I can’t speak for the other books in the series but Red Mars kept my dyslexic attention throughout even though it’s pretty long, if that’s a good analogy.

      Really? I’m reading Red Mars and while it’s interesting af it’s kinda hard to get through it.

      I like that it’s very clearly well thought out, and he goes into detail on so many things that I wouldn’t even consider, but sometimes it feels like I’m reading Wikipedia and not an actual novel. If that makes any sense.
