Joel Byram is an everyday 22nd century guy. He spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to act more human, jamming out to 1980s new wave - an extremely obscure genre - and trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. Joel is pretty much an everyday guy with everyday problems - until he's accidentally duplicated while teleporting. Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that controls teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and find a way to get back to the woman he loves.

Blown away by this book
Revisado: 08-02-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. I like science fiction books that are grounded in semi-reality. This is one of those.. It's futuristic, but not so far fetched that it's not believable.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Characters are believable and likable, keeps your reading just to see what happens next.
Which character – as performed by Matthew Mercer – was your favorite?
Matthew's reading is awesome. I've listened to audio books that just don't fit the character, but his reading is spot-on
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I was planning on listening to an hour of it when I started reading it, but ended up listening to the first 16 chapters in one setting!
Any additional comments?
A refreshing book by a new author that I had never heard of before. Will definately be looking out for more books by Tal Klein.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

On the brink of extinction, being human means more than just surviving. In Lib's world, it's dangerous to deviate from the norm. In fact, for someone who doesn't live up to the Artificial Intelligence's standards, it's practically a death sentence. Lib learns this the hard way when she wakes up in a barren wasteland, with her memories erased, and only one thought lodged in her mind: "It's all my fault." Lib is a Glitch - an imperfect human component of the utopian world called the Norm.
