- All Time Favorite Podcast/Audio Drama
I have listened to this countless times in the many years since I found it. Dawson Nichols is such a phenomenal voice actor that I didn’t realize it was all voiced by one person the first time I listened and sometime I forget again. The audio production draws me in every time. The weaving of story elements and set-up for later plots is masterful and engaging.
I love this story.

United States9 months ago This story was pretty astonishing. Acted out by the author himself with music and soundscaping, the production values are solid. This is a cyberpunk slow burn mystery with a deeply drawn world and a sprawling, satisfying story. Lots of interesting themes and profound philosophical musings about what it means to be a human being in the technological age.

The concept sucked me in immediately, starting with near future tech, which progressively spiraled into more complex, abstract, and mind bending concepts. Possibly the most impressive feat of this story is how it makes complex subjects like computation, AI ethics, and definitions of consciousness easily accessible to the listener - it’s a fantastic philosophical primer for today’s world of connectivity and AI, all while being compelling and easy to listen to. It’s hard to believe this was produc... more
Apple Podcasts5Culv4282United Statesa year ago Excellent world building and well told, even the highly technical bits about ai categorization and ambit (virtual world) structure are described in a way that makes it easy to understand without bogging down the story.
Podcast Addict5a year agoDBwood- Best SciFi Drama Ever (or close)
Took me a bit to get into this because it just drops you into a new world, new science, new vocabulary - but as the story grows, so does the pleasure. All those new words are spot on. All that new science has really great rules. And the characters are such personalities. Production values are off the charts good. Never an issue with voices or noise or special effects. And the script is what you listen to - not stretches of music or noise (like a couple others I’ve suffered through). I really lik... more
