Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 12
On a failed expedition to the heart of an ancient space station, Edwina wakes in a land of fierce warriors and drifting sands, in a mechanical body that is not her own. With no memory of why or how many bodies have come before this, one thing is clear: She’s trapped, and time is running out. An ancient citadel looms over the barren land, and a cruel sultan rules the scattered people.

Fun little story with great narration.
Revisado: 06-04-21
The narrator is magnificent. The story is engaging, creative and subverted my expectations. The symbolism of the main characters predicament and the hunt to find life’s meaning in the materialistic late capitalist existence of the 21st century is not lost on this reader. I’m going to set this screen down to go stare at another one. Send help.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 65
For the first time in the history of our planet, more than half the population - 3.3 billion people - is now living in cities. City is the ultimate guidebook to our urban centers - the signature unit of human civilization. With erudite prose, this unique work of metatourism explores what cities are and how they work. It covers history, customs and language, districts, transport, money, work, shops and markets, and tourist sites, creating a fantastically detailed portrait of the city through history and into the future.

Yikes! Remedial and boring
Revisado: 02-05-15
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
It was like a very long, very boring overview of a history of western civilization - I learned nothing and was very bored for ... 9 hours. I couldn't finish it.
What was most disappointing about P. D. Smith’s story?
It contained no thesis and made no argument.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Nope.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Apathy turning to distaste and eventually surrender.
Any additional comments?
Save yourself! Don't buy this book.
