You might enjoy Kurt Vonnegut’s short story 2BR02B. The Wikipedia article[1] has links to several different places you can read or listen to it for free. (Though I’m a bit confused as to how his work is already in the public domain since he only died relatively recently?)

It may have been published without a copyright notice? As it was published between 1927 and 1977, that would explain why it's in the public domain: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Hirtle_chart
