Summary

Just City is the story of 21-year-old Nathan, who dreams about creating a cool start-up with his friend Jack. To get money for the start-up, Nathan starts playing a virtual reality game as part of a scientific experiment. The game forces Nathan to discover what it is like to be in the skin of somebody else, for whom the cards have been dealt differently. The depressing experiences of playing the game make Nathan question his belief in meritocracy and pick a fight with Jack. What is just, and what do we really deserve? This is only the beginning of Nathan’s search for a new life credo that will have both love and reason at its core.

If only !

The author Olga Tymofiyeva is totally delusional, the world that she craves can not exist because humans born with greed which causes evil and unlike animals humans sin and it’s only getting worse as the amount of humans grows getting to the point which there is no space, food and water for all leading to wars and religion can’t help as history teaches us that more people died over religion then anything else.
In short, the human race had a chance if we have continued with the space race in the 60’s , now it’s too late.
I heard somewhere that humans don’t achieve equilibrium like other animals, that humans are more like a virus, we consume till none left then move to consume elsewhere exactly like viruses, so if we didn’t colonize new planets we are doomed, we had the chance and we missed it !


Narration by Douglas Dorda is not bad at all.

Ok

It’s not what I expected although I didn’t hate listening to it but it wasn’t really my type of book.
