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.

    A bit unconventional, but I recommend Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s a thematically complex book, but not a difficult one to read or listen to, or to even follow. I listened to it in audiobook format, and it instantly became my favourite book ever.
