About this listen

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.

A very credible and provocative peep into our possible future with an interesting and well-developed protagonist, written and narrated beautifully.

Visionary

This is a superb, original and timely Sci-fi drama. The eerie journey which Tao-Yi goes on reminded me a bit of The City and the Stars by Arthur C Clarke, but this is very much a 2020s novel. Tao-Yi’s dilemma through much of the story is never less than compelling, right up until the end. The possibilities and worlds within Gaia are brilliantly conveyed by Grace Chan, but what makes her story really great is that you truly feel you understand who Tao-Yi is and where she’s come from by the end. Also, being from the UK and never having been to Australia or Malaysia I found descriptions of near-future versions of both fascinating! A great performance and memorably distinct character voices by Nicolette Chin too.
