On 3 December 1976, just weeks before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions, seven gunmen from West Kingston stormed his house. Marley survived and went on to perform at the free concert. Not a lot was recorded about the fate of the seven gunmen, but much has been said, whispered and sung about in the streets of West Kingston.

Absolutely amazing story AND narration

Great story telling
Revisado: 09-26-16
Great story. Well knit together. The most interesting thing that stood out for me was how the story revealed itself through conversation and not explicit descriptions. Some very interesting characters although Nina Burgess' neuroticism got a bit testing at one stage.
The accents were mostly great, even when they weren't meant to be.
Main criticism is the number of re-recordings - all at a different pitch which the really drew attention to the method and not the story.
Still, not a terrible way to spend 26 hours.

Anderson Lake is a company man, AgriGen's Calorie Man in Thailand. Under cover as a factory manager, Anderson combs Bangkok's street markets in search of foodstuffs thought to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history's lost calories. There, he encounters Emiko...Emiko is the Windup Girl, a strange and beautiful creature. One of the New People, Emiko is not human; instead, she is an engineered being, creche-grown and programmed to satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman.

A glimpse of the future
Revisado: 04-27-16
What an excellent read, so well executed!
A look at a future world through a different lens. Gene hack weevil, New people, Megadonts, Agri-gen... Monsanto anyone?
