À propos de cet audio
Hugo Award-winning authors Brandon Sanderson and Mary Robinette Kowal team up in this exclusive audio-first production of The Original, a sci-fi thriller set in a world where one woman fights to know her true identity and survive the forces that threaten her very existence.
In the near future, humans choose life - for a price. Injectable nanite technology is the lifeblood that flows through every individual wishing to experience the world through the lens of their own theme. While death from mortal wounds is still possible, life is made easier in a socially liberated society where automation and income equality allow passion pursuits to flourish over traditional work. Renewal stations are provided to every law-abiding citizen for weekly check-ins, which issue life-sustaining repairs in exchange for personal privacy. But what becomes of those who check out, of those who dare to resist immortality and risk being edited under the gaze of an identity-extracting government surveillance system?
When Holly Winseed wakes up in a hospital room, her memory compromised and a new identity imposed on her, a team of government agents wastes no time stating their objective. With intent to infiltrate and defeat the terrorist group ICON, the agents tell Holly that she is now a Provisional Replica and has one week to hunt down and kill her Original for the murder of her husband, Jonathan. If she succeeds, she’ll assume her Original’s place in society. If she fails, her life will end. Holly’s progress is monitored by an assigned contact that feeds her information as she confronts the blank, robotic world around her, discovering that others view life through the theme of their own choosing.
With her newly implanted combat and deduction skills, Holly fends off both attacks by terrorists and doubts about her own trustworthiness as clues lead her to her Original - and to the truth about Jonathan. In the end, one body remains and one walks away. Although questions persist, one thing is certain: Life will never be the same.

I have listened to some audiobooks that included background noises, but never one that included music as part of the story, I was surprised to find out that I loved that aspect of story telling. There is a scene in the story where the main character is in a dance club and there was music playing during an action scene. I was dancing around my kitchen while doing dishes. It was enthralling. It is now my favourite audiobook scene, ever.
The main character was great, the story was captivating. This audiobook was so great!
The narrator, Julia Whelan, was fantastic. I first heard of this novel when I saw her interviewed on the YouTube channel Captured in Words (the interview was good and piqued my interest). She did a great job voicing different characters as well as putting emotion into her voice.

absolutely insane book

The story itself is enveloping, and despite its brevity it is not truncated or abrupt. The ambiguity of the end is really well done, too.
A solid book
