À propos de cet audio

The good news is that you have just awakened into Eternal Life. You are going to live forever. Immortality is a reality. A medical miracle? Not exactly.

The bad news is that you are a scrap of electronic code. The world you see around you, the you that is seeing it, has been digitized, scanned, and downloaded into a virtual reality program. You are a Copy that knows it is a copy.

The good news is that there is a way out. By law, every Copy has the option of terminating itself, and waking up to normal flesh-and-blood life again. The bail-out is on the utilities menu. You pull it down...The bad news is that it doesn't work. Someone has blocked the bail-out option. And you know who did it. You did. The other you. The real you. The one that wants to keep you here forever.

The rise and fall of the readers voice is almost the same for every sentence, and the accents were overplayed.

Worth it for the story, though.

Great story, didn’t care for the reader.

A wonderful read; though provoking and genuine. Would recommend as a starting point for Greg Egan’s bibliography.

An interesting study of humans response to infinity

It pushed a bunch of computer simulation stuff that just didn't make any actual sense

Didn't really make sense

The story was a meh for me. Very dry and high concept, there's an outside chance I'd enjoy it in book format or with a different narrator.

But wow, I've never been more bored by a narrator in my life. His inflections throughout sentences would rise and fall with no regard for the emotion of the scene, he mispronounced many technical terms that were so commonplace in this book that it was inexcusable, and his attempts at different voices was laughable.

This may be the worst narrator I've ever listened to
