The Syndic by C. M. Kornbluth ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Syndic by C. M. Kornbluth audiobook. Genre: scifi C. M. Kornbluth's The Syndic is a razor-sharp, fast-moving political fable set in a near-future America torn between two orders: a sleek, corporate-run “United States” and the gritty, fiercely organized city-states run by syndicates of labor. When a man from the corporate side crosses the border into syndicate territory on a covert mission, he steps into a landscape of suspicious allies, ideological theater, and sudden violence — where every handshake can be a contract and every promise hides a double meaning. Kornbluth's prose is acidic and economical, slicing through propaganda and posturing to reveal how power reshapes ideals and people; the novel blends tense espionage, satirical humor, and moral ambivalence into a thought-provoking thriller that still feels eerily relevant. For audiobook listeners, The Syndic offers crackling dialogue, grimly funny social observation, and a propulsive plot that rewards attention: it’s a compact, combustible listen that asks whether order imposed from above or solidarity built from below is the truer path — and what’s sacrificed either way.
