Mr. Spaceship by Philip K. Dick audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In a far-future war against the enigmatic Yuks, Terra's fleet keeps losing to weapons that are not machines at all, but living, adaptive organisms that can outthink any automated guidance system. Technocrat Philip Kramer and his colleague Gross propose a breakthrough that sounds like sacrilege: replace the standard Johnson Control with something faster, subtler, and unmistakably human - a living brain. The only problem is finding a donor and deciding what, exactly, is being sacrificed when a mind is removed from its body and wired into a warship. Enter Professor Thomas, Kramer's former teacher, dying and willing to volunteer for the procedure. The project succeeds beyond anyone's expectations, and the newly built cruiser earns a nickname that is half joke, half prayer: Mr. Spaceship. But the moment the ship takes to the stars, Kramer discovers that intelligence cannot be treated as a mere component. As military necessity collides with personal loyalty, Kramer and his wife, Dolores, are drawn into a struggle over control, identity, and whether a civilization obsessed with winning wars deserves the future it is trying to reach.

Psmith in the City by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.
Genre: comedy
When impecunious but unflappably confident Rupert Psmith and his steady, athletic friend Mike Jackson arrive in London, they are fresh from school and short on funds, which means only one thing: employment. Soon they find themselves drafted into the gray world of a City bank, where clerks shuffle papers, superiors bark orders, and every day threatens to smother youth under a blanket of routine. Psmith, however, is not built for quiet obedience. With his unmistakable monocle, elaborate vocabulary, and heroic devotion to personal dignity, he turns the office into a stage, needling pompous managers, defending downtrodden coworkers, and treating every rule as an invitation to creative interpretation. As Mike tries to balance responsibility, ambition, and loyalty, Psmith's principled mischief draws the pair into workplace rivalries, after-hours scrapes, and a tangle of friendships and romances that complicate their precarious position. Packed with sparkling dialogue and sharply observed social satire, Psmith in the City is a warm, whirlwind comedy about class, courage, and the art of staying cheerful while the grown-up world tries its best to be dull.

Euthyphro by Plato audiobook.
Genre: philosophy
Set on the steps of an Athenian courthouse, Plato's Euthyphro stages a sharp, suspenseful conversation on a question that still unsettles moral and religious life: what makes an action truly holy or right? Socrates, facing a serious legal charge, encounters Euthyphro, a confident religious expert who has come to prosecute his own father for wrongdoing. Struck by Euthyphro's certainty, Socrates asks him to define piety itself, hoping to learn what holiness is in every case, not just in a single example. What follows is a fast-moving exchange of proposals, objections, and refinements, as Socrates tests each definition for clarity, consistency, and depth. Along the way, the dialogue probes the relationship between human justice and divine approval, the limits of tradition, and the danger of mistaking confidence for knowledge. With wit, precision, and escalating philosophical pressure, Euthyphro invites listeners into the heart of Socratic inquiry and the enduring challenge of grounding ethics in something more solid than mere opinion.
