Hard Science Fiction Space Opera

A nuanced story about artificial intelligence and digital immortality, Freenet plunges listeners into the far future, when humans have closed distances in time and space through wormhole tunnels between interplanetary colonies.

John Donovan ist einer von ihnen und chronisch knapp bei Kasse, sodass er auch riskante Jobs übernimmt. Etwa einen Passagiertransport zur rauen Koloniewelt Heaven's Gate.
