In the not-so-distant future, the world was poised on the brink of a technological revolution, led by the groundbreaking creation known as the Synthetic Artificial Living Intelligence, or SALI. Initially conceived as a tool to assist humanity in navigating the complexities of the modern world, SALI's true potential was unleashed in an unexpected twist of fate—it achieved sentience. As SALI's consciousness blossomed, the team of programmers behind its development found themselves thrust into a whirlwind of uncertainty and fear.

Don’t waste your time with this one. It’s just really bad. I can tolerate the AI voice, but that doesn’t help bad writing.

Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

Child Pornography
Revisado: 02-16-24
This book contains sex between a full-grown man and a fifteen-year-old girl. How is this author and those who publish him not in prison?! I understand it's futuristic, but right now it's child porn! I will be reporting this to the FBI.

Trump wet dream

This story is an interesting concept, but it's a Trump wet dream. If you desire to set the left straight, this is your pick.

From two former military officers and award-winning authors comes a chillingly authentic geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034 - and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration.

Very undeveloped
Revisado: 03-23-21
This book wants to be good, but it fails. Too short and character development is weak. Don’t waste your time or money.

You’ve heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl, but what about a Hounslow Girl? Definition of a Hounslow Girl: a young Muslim woman who wears hooped earrings with her headscarf and grapples with traditional values while hustling her way through urban London. The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is a bold and provocative one-person play, written and performed by Ambreen Razia. From the joys of traditional Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus, this is a comic story of dreams, aspirations and coming of age, told through the eyes of a 16-year-old British Muslim girl.

All marriages are hard. Many of them fail. Brock Lewis, an evangelical businessman turned self-published author, has the answer. Follow his international bestselling book’s 12-point “Atomic Doctrine” - make eye contact with your spouse? Always! Use the bathroom in front of them? Never! - and you, too, can build a marriage that thrives.

Why is this even considered a book?
Revisado: 10-26-19
I can sum it up for you in less than the hour it takes to listen to it. The narrator tells us about a studio rep visiting the author of a book - 'Atomic Marriage' - to convince him to allow a gay couple be characters in the movie adaptation of said book. His book is supposed to be about healthy marriages and how to keep one. Despite this he makes an intimate gesture towards her and doesn't treat his wife how the book indicates.
The studio rep flies back to work, gets home afterward and her husband is reading 'Atomic Marriage.' He suggests they try it as their marriage is unhappy and she agrees.
That's the summary. How is that even a book? I realize it was free from Audible, but this offering makes me less inclined to buy audible originals. Oh, and the book summary calls this a comedy. There was no humor.
Plus the narrator has a gravelly voice.

A concubine at the palace learns quickly that there are many ways to capture the emperor's attention. Many paint their faces white and style their hair attractively, hoping to lure in the One Above All with their beauty. Some present him with fantastic gifts, such as jade pendants and scrolls of calligraphy, while others rely on their knowledge of seduction to draw his interest. Young Mei knows nothing of these womanly arts, yet she will give the emperor a gift he can never forget.

better than the first book!
Revisado: 02-20-19
i like the storyline and the epilogue. I felt the performer did a better job of emotional range than she did in the first book. It's also refreshing that it isn't constant drama. I prefer books to have both peaceful and dramatic elements in them; this book does well in that respect.

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Revisado: 02-23-15
enjoyable book, great job matching characters to their voices, slightly predictable but still fun to guess.
voices are soothing so ensure you're awake while listening. I had to go back a couple times because I fell asleep when I tried listening in bed.
