À propos de cet audio

 WINNER OF THE NEBULA AWARD

After a global pandemic makes public gatherings illegal and concerts impossible, except for those willing to break the law for the love of music—and for one chance at human connection.

In the Before, when the government didn't prohibit large public gatherings, Luce Cannon was on top of the world. One of her songs had just taken off and she was on her way to becoming a star. Now, in the After, terror attacks and deadly viruses have led the government to ban concerts, and Luce's connection to the world--her music, her purpose—is closed off forever. She does what she has to do: she performs in illegal concerts to a small but passionate community, always evading the law.

Rosemary Laws barely remembers the Before times. She spends her days in Hoodspace, helping customers order all of their goods online for drone delivery—no physical contact with humans needed. By lucky chance, she finds a new job and a new calling: discover amazing musicians and bring their concerts to everyone via virtual reality. The only catch is that she'll have to do something she's never done before and go out in public. Find the illegal concerts and bring musicians into the limelight they deserve. But when she sees how the world could actually be, that won’t be enough. Dystopique Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Post-apocalyptique Science-fiction Célébrité Gouvernement Droit

The writer must be quite a self-aware musician, but she's inexperienced at creating settings that indulge curiosity and build suspense. I wish the story explored the obviously topical themes, like lack of political engagement, or avoiding institutional surveillance, or how everyone either relies on or eschews the use of [what is essentially Discord] to communicate.

Meanwhile, the story meticulously documents the day-to-day life of characters, who sit in about 10 different cafes while the reader waits for something to happen. The writer's main point, "People are meant to interact with each other", gets blatantly re-stated in about 6 different outbursts which break the reader's immersion in the story.

I'll give a pass on the pandemic/lockdown descriptions since this book came out in 2019.

All that being said, I thought the story raised some good points. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the music. Describing how a song sounds without actually writing down the notes is a hard thing to do, and I am impressed how well this book was able to do it, and took every opportunity to do so.

As a musician, I enjoyed. But other parts lacking.
