If you want sci-fi I would suggest the 1950s radio show Dimension X and the later version of it. These take stories from sci-fi magazines of the era adapt them for audio. They've got a heck of a lot of giants from the era and tbqh as an old boomer, this is when people were actually smart. Virtually every idea in sci-fi that you've ever heard of, they had done it better by the early 1950s. No hyperbole. You will recognize many concepts concepts that your zoomer butt thought were at least from my generation and they were fully developed by then.

Available from the Internet Archive.

As audio you can listen to these when doing cooking, cleaning, whatever physical labor. Perfect for when you're making lunch.

!trekkies It might blow your fricking minds but most of Star Trek was, as the old man always dismissively said, "derivative". Every possible idea in sci-fi was fully developed by about 1955. Fortunately I got wise and came back and said "yeah well frick you, Shakespeare was derivative".

You read Pynchon's Against the Day yet?

It's not good desu but it's definitely readable to pass the time. Tarl is incredibly dense despite thinking he's hot shit and all the other leader dudes who are actually clued up treat him like one would a chocolate labrador; it's pretty funny as long as you're not actually invested in him as a character.
