Not Even Cecil Baldwin Could Save This
An interesting writing exercise that might have been better to stay in notebooks and drafts.
This is a collection of short pieces on possible futures that I unfortunately found ranged in quality from extremely mildly amusing to painfully cringeworthy. The most appropriate descriptor of these micro fictions is wacky said with one's whole chest with no positive qualifications.
One of the possible futures is transphobic in its bioessentialism around genitals, which I don't think was the intention. However, it does smack of a cishet guy being silly about sex and gender with all the tact one might expect.
I truly don't understand this coming from a successful and respected comedy writer. I also have no idea how so many fantastic performers were convinced to narrate the audiobook. Unfortunately, the dulcet tones of Night Vale's own Cecil Baldwin and intense ranting of the Bitter Buddha were enough to bring this to life.
I feel like I'm being really mean, but it feels like so very little thought or care were put into this. I'm genuinely not knocking this as a creative exercise and think things like this can be great, but that doesn't mean they should be published. I am certain of anyone without the history in the business, and connections Kutner has made any attempt to publish this they would be laughed out of the publisher's office.
I'm glad it was free on Audible and I hope all the narrators got paid.

Avoid!
Thankfully, it was free! I really fail to see the point.
Just 57 minutes I’ll never get back!

Atrocious.
A series of poorly disguised bigotry, atrocious short stories. Genuinely shocking that the writer is arrogant enough to suppose his work is comparable to P.K.Dick's.
