À propos de cet audio

In late-twenty-first-century Australia, Tao-Yi and her partner Navin spend most of their time inside an immersive, consumerist virtual reality called Gaia. They log on, go to work, socialise and even eat in this digital utopia. Meanwhile, their aging bodies lie suspended in pods inside cramped apartments.

Across the city, in the abandoned real world, Tao-Yi's mother remains stubbornly offline, dwindling away between hospital visits and memories of her earlier life in Malaysia.

When a new technology is developed to permanently upload a human brain to Gaia, Tao-Yi must decide what is most important: a digital future or an authentic past.

Virtual existence is the central sci-fi theme, but it is from the perspective of a protagonist who is torn between connections with people and connections with the real but crumbling world. The book is set in Australia where society has been mostly isolated from the downfall of other countries destabilized by climate change. People there have adapted and managed to have somewhat normal lives, but technology is fast changing the way people live. There's enough sci-fi ideas in the book to satisfy us sci-fi geeks, but also a focus on the relationships affected by the rapidly changing world. Definitely worth a read/listen!

A view of a nearish sci-fi future from one who is reluctant to join the masses
