À propos de cet audio

The starship Earthling, filled with thousands of hibernating colonists en route to a new world at Tau Ceti, is stranded beyond the solar system when the ship's three organic mental cores—disembodied human brains that control the vessel's functions—go insane. The emergency skeleton crew sees only one chance for survival: build an artificial consciousness in the Earthling's primary computer that can guide them to their destination—and hope it doesn't destroy the human race.

Don't miss Frank Herbert's classic novel that begins the epic Pandora Sequence.

There is a great little short story in here about ship crew having to find a way to survive a doomed mission, but it's buried under a mountain of technobabble that would have the crew of Star Trek: TNG rolling their eyes in exasperation.

Not terrible overall, but certainly not easy to recommend.

But can we reverse the...polarity?

Background ideas, touching philosophy, religion and generally the human mind (classic Frank). However, the technobabble is too needlessly intense (in quantity and in nonsense): just feels like frustrating filler meant to impress.

Great ideas explored, bad execution

Fantastic Journey

There is a decent short story hidden under prose on philosophy religion psychology and technology that takes itself much too seriously. Much credit goes to the voice actor who does amazingly well given the cumbersome text.

I only finished this because I want to tackle the whole sequence.

Excellent performance saves story

This was a fascinating book to listen too. I listened to it in several long portions.

The listener can get distracted by the details as tge language is technical. If I had a good understanding of analog computers, I might have followed it better. I also struggled with the philosophical dialogues. However, Herbert sums up these complex ideas and dialogues in great analogies. Regardless of the technicalities, I was able to follow the story snd found it compelling. I would recommend this book for anyone curious about a philosophical story written by Herbert.

Fascinating but hard to follow.
