Very well written story

The characters were very interesting. Irene being torn about keeping Claire's secret and trying to be rid of her was an interesting dynamic.

A Very engrossing story

Revisado: 03-05-25

This is not your run of the mill scifi story with lots of neon and shiny objects. This story takes place on Mars. Our unlikely hero is a low caste worker in the depths of Mars who toils to make the planet livable for more of humanity. We follow his journey as he goes undercover to free his people.

The thing I like most about this story is that surprising things happen but they make complete sense in this world. We follow the main character as he navigates winning a game that will propel him to a position to free Mars. This story is a great and interesting read!

The narration is great! Definitely recommend.

Using Huckleberry to shine a light on Jim

Revisado: 01-22-25

This was a great way of using a well known story to shine a light on what slavery was like at the time of Huckleberry Finn. I felt like Jim was a plaything in HF. Especially near the end where the boys come up with that whole complex plan to have Jim escape I like the way James was handled much better. It made Jim a whole person. And it taught me a little about American history that I had no idea about. The narrator was great and really doesn't distract from the story. Overall, a great book!

Does intelligence need sentience

Revisado: 01-04-25

This is a very interesting question that is pondered I. the middle of a very Interesting story. A bunch of variously modified people are sent to make contact with an alien species at the edge of the Solar System. But, figuring these creatures out brings up questions about humanity.

I really enjoyed her perspective on the subject

Revisado: 11-02-24

This book made me think about the Universe in an awe inspiring way. There is so much out there that we can learn before we get the ability to go visit these alien worlds. It also reminds us that we have to take care of the only planet that we evolved on.

The future comes at you fast

Revisado: 10-17-24

I really liked how it gave you the feeling of trying to keep up with constant new technology. It's a bit disorienting. Even when you are a character that starts out at the forefront of technology. It can be somewhat dense but very interesting. And it will take you to many interesting places and ideas. Finally, the narration is great.

Loved the book already but Andy Serkis makes it even better!

Revisado: 08-14-24

When I was a kid I think this is the first long book I ever read. And I read this and the LOTR trilogy every few years. Tolkien is great at creating well realized far off places you'd like to have adventures in.

It is the story of a Hobbit named Bilbo that is not prone to adventurousness that ends up being swept into one. And finding himself quite capable with the help 12 dwarves and sometimes a wizard. Luckily the he story is much much better than my description of it.

However, the best part of this audiobook has to be Andy Serkis' narration. All the voices are as distinct as a person could make them. And very well acted. I'd have Mr. Serkis read everything to me if possible. Haha!

A good book with practical actions you can take

Revisado: 08-05-24

This book did a good job of identifying distractions and giving you ways to deal with them. It also gives ways to make distractions less pervasive in your life. It covers everything from workplaces to family life. It basically gives you tips on how to respect your own time. I found it very helpful.

The book is narrated by the author who did a great job.

This book was very enlightening

Revisado: 07-27-24

This book does a great job of telling the history and current limits of AI. It also does a good job of shining a light on or own shortcomings and how we should be careful not to imprint them in our AI. We should be careful but we can learn a lot from each other.

The narration was great and the story was very interesting.
