À propos de cet audio

In a world where the human population has suffered devastating losses, a handful of survivors cling to what passes for life in a postapocalyptic, dying landscape. A world where humans wander, drugged and lulled by electronic bliss. A dying world of no children and no art, where reading is forbidden. And a strange love triangle: Spofforth, who runs the world, the most perfect machine ever created, whose only wish is to die; and Paul and Mary Lou, a man and a woman whose passion for each other is the only hope for the future of human beings on Earth.

An elegiac dystopia of mankind coming to terms with its own imminent extinction, Mockingbird was nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Novel.

I was blown away how good this was and how pertinent it was to times right now. The self fires etc

Really really good.

I wasnt sure what to expect with this one going in but overall I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
It may take a few chapters to get used to the format and what exactly is going on in this world but I think that adds to the experience of this unique vision of dystopia that feels all too familiar.

I dont regret my decision

A touching and thought provoking story, perfectly performed. Tevis revisits themes from Brave New World and other distopian fiction, adding his own unique voice.
And, as you might expect, chess makes a small appearance.

oh, brave new world

Well narrated, great flow and something to think about. Many lessons in this story. I enjoyed listening to this book 👍

Futuristic story

The writing was poetic, and the story was hopeful for mankind. The morose essence in the story still prevailed. The suicides were never fully explained except with the overall hopelessness of the life. I have very mixed feelings about this book and encourage others to read it. I think it would provoke good discussions in a book group.

Well written!

Incredible story. Haunting and moving and uplifting. The phrase “Only the mockingbird sings at the edge of the forest” reverberates long after the story ends.
