Acerca de esta escucha
“Echoes of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest reverberate through this cinematic tale…readers looking for an adrenaline-inducing resistance plot will find this worth their time.”—Publishers Weekly
From award-winning author J. Michael Straczynski, The Glass Box is a hard-hitting, fast paced sci-fi novel about the choices we make and the ramifications we face.
Riley Diaz was born to fight back.
When she’s incarcerated under the authority of a shadowy new defense act, Riley is sent to one of a growing number of American Renewal Centers (ARCs)—institutions modeled after psychiatric facilities—for mandatory reeducation.
Forced therapy, involuntary medication, solitary confinement, restricted rations, and more are all in the ARC program’s bag of dirty tricks designed to break down dissidents. Give in, and you go free. Resist, and …
Riley declares a one-woman war against the gaslighting and manipulation in a struggle to take down the ARC program and its white-coated collaborators. Despite being isolated and resented by her fellow inmates, Riley eventually wins their trust, and forms a heartfelt, life-and-death bond with a mysterious patient known only as Frankenstein, who is as enigmatic as his namesake.
Sometimes breaking an unjust system starts with one person willing to stand up—when standing is the hardest thing in the world—and saying no. Riley Diaz is willing to stand behind that word, regardless of the cost, in order to put her fist through the Glass Box once and for all.
Acclaimed creator J. Michael Straczynski takes the listener on a mesmerizing journey inspired by pressing contemporary issues, including our right to protest and the threats designed to undermine that right. Told with drama and heart, The Glass Box is a moving story that features a colorful and often eccentric cast of characters audiences will fall in love with.

Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at 30, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened souls who have decided that this will be their final journey - upon arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this world.

The original teleplay that became the classic Star Trek episode, with an expanded introductory essay by Harlan Ellison, The City on the Edge of Forever has been surrounded by controversy since the airing of an "eviscerated" version - which subsequently has been voted the most beloved episode in the series' history. In its original form, The City on the Edge of Forever won the 1966-67 Writers Guild of America Award for Best Teleplay. As aired, it won the 1967 Hugo Award.

A video of Deputy Eve Ronin’s off-duty arrest of an abusive movie star goes viral, turning her into a popular hero at a time when the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is plagued by scandal. The sheriff makes Eve the youngest female homicide detective in the department’s history. Now Eve, with a lot to learn and resented by her colleagues, has to justify her new badge. Her chance comes when she and her soon-to-retire partner are called to the blood-splattered home of a missing mother and her two kids. The horrific carnage screams multiple murder - but there are no corpses.

Loch Ness holds secrets, ancient and deadly. Does a monster inhabit its depths, or is it just myth? Why, after thousands of reported sightings and dozens of expeditions, is there still no hard evidence? Marine biologist Zachary Wallace knows, but the shock of his near-drowning as a child on Loch Ness have buried all memories of the incident. Now, a near-death experience suffered while on expedition in the Sargasso Sea has caused these long-forgotten memories to resurface.

The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Ben Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long "The Wave", with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action," sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of "The Wave" and realize they must stop it before it's too late.

This is a spellbinding tale woven of equal parts epic and myth - with a liberal dash of hard science fiction. When a one-way time tunnel to Earth’s distant past, specifically six million B.C., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for light-years around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years....

Outstanding
The Glass Box is both scary for its feasibility and hopeful in its resilience. The characters, like most of J Michael Straczynski's writing, are fully fleshed out and real. I honestly can't say enough about the quality of this book Just read it already!

Brilliant, and all too possible
JMS does it again in another story that intertwines exceptional storytelling, character development, and plot arc.
If you are on the inside and know his own personal story, there is even more insight as you read the novel, and understand where he got the inspiration for certain characters such as Frankenstein, and the thoughts and recollections and attitude of him.
There's way too much emotion right now for me to be able to write a fully coherent review, so I will probably have to come back and do that later.

Compelling, despite the predictability and narration 
The pros was engaging And the characters We’re believable with clear motivations. The predictable story And political lecture, Left a slight bad taste in my mouth. I did not care for the narrators Exaggerated voices for the various characters.

Wow
Reminiscent of Brian W. Aldiss' Harm without being genre, and without that work's pessimism. It's a work grounded in reality and humanity. You celebrate it at the same time you feel for the plight of the protagonist, who is in the grip of the worst emotion imaginable: terror.
Note that the secondary characters are less developed than the protagonist since this is a single POV narrative.
Straczynski's previous Together We Will Go tackled another difficult subject. The author, I would say, has some predilection in writing about uncomfortable but necessary subjects. May he produce many more.

The poor Narration may force me to return this.
This novel strikes me as important, adeptly dealing with some very real horrors that are in motion right now. Sadly, thanks to the poor narration, I will probably return the title rather than finishing it. Seriously. Every male character voice sounds like the big dumb dog in the Warner Bros. Cartoon parody of "Of Mice and Men," while gagging on cauliflower. "Aaaaach Iiiii will love him Aaarchaaaand squeeze hiim Aaahaaand call him George! George iz My friend!" Which of course rrrrrrrrrrips you out of the story. IF YOU CANT DO VOICES JUST READ THE BOOK Narrators! Youre ruining good things.

Annoying performance
Admittedly I did not get far, I found the story sophomoric. The subject matter is so interesting, This text does it no justice. This coupled white the annoying performance, I’m sorry to have bought it.
