About this listen

In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison. But while both groups are suspended, a global cataclysm devastates most of the Earth, and their cryosleep is extended by more than 500 years.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Great performances in a play that examines the complexities of the human condition, and the consequences of our actions and decisions. Well worth a listen.

Super little listen

having an adult do a child's voice just sounded super creepy. And how hard is it just to get someone with a British accent. the fake one in this was so distracting. Other than these 2 minor complaints, not a bad book.

Having different actors voice the different characters help you immerse yourself in the story, making it seem more real. The story is unique and enjoyable. I recommend taking them time to listen.
