About this listen
A new world order has come. Society as we know it is no longer. Religion, politics, entertainment, and consumerism do not exist. All are equal, all are the same. No color, no gender, no difference. The human brain is rewired to rid itself of all nasty emotions, all preferences, and all nonconformity.
A young girl on the brink of losing herself to this society that condemns and exterminates human emotions is thrust into a war she didn't know existed. Who can she trust? And, who is the true enemy?

Rather than universal, too, the whole situation feels very localised - the main society, the Establishment where all boys are given an injection at the age of 12 which removes emotion, the girls not getting their similar injections until aged 17 unless it was decided at that age that they should become the mothers of the future citizens. If so chosen, the young women were artificially inseminated and allowed to care for their offspring for it's first five years of life together with another randomly assigned male, Both, however, were unable to give it affection. The whole societal setup was, however, sadly neglected, the author instead rapidly moving on to the two opposing groups, the Outlandish, who mostly lived underground and went round rescuing and absorbing into their ranks the odd Establishment survivors, especially children, found after attacks on the Establishment developments, and the Seditionists, who lived on the land in camps and were the major attackers, violent men for whom women were merely chattels.
In addition to the skirmishes between the three groups and 2020s part in the resulting fights, together with her constant misery, years and general self pity, there is a religious factor - the beautiful shepherd-like being which promises freedom from burdens if followed and appeared in dreams or as a vision in times of stress to both 2020's mother and herself, to the latter's confusion.
Narration was reasonable. Lauren Garvin has a pleasant voice but her reading was not always properly phased,as if she were not fully aware the meaning of what she was actually reading, and her intonation tended to the depressive. But there were few word mispronunciations, and no poorly executed edits, and some of the character voices were differentiated, though not all, so certainly not a bad performance.
My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of 2020 Injection, via Free Audiobook Codes. I read to the end, despite thinking of giving up on the book on a couple of occasions, but I don't like to do that unless the writing is really dire. This certainly was not that, just far too contrived and rather immature. Not for me. But obviously much enjoyed by many.
There will be a sequel, the continuation link is already set. But I personally will not bother.
