About this listen

New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler crafts a near-future thriller about the evolution of empathy.

Hard to say when the human species fractured exactly. Harder to say when this new talent arrived. But Lion Zorn is the first of his kind—an empathy tracker, an emotional soothsayer, with a felt sense for the future of the we. In simpler terms, he can spot cultural shifts and trends before they happen.

It’s a useful skill for a certain kind of company.

Arctic Pharmaceuticals is that kind of company. But when a routine em-tracking job leads to the discovery of a gruesome murder, Lion finds himself neck-deep in a world of eco-assassins, soul hackers and consciousness terrorists. But what the man really needs is a nap.

A unique blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional cyberpunk, Last Tango in Cyberspace explores hot topics like psychology, neuroscience, technology, as well as ecological and animal rights issues. The world created in Last Tango is based very closely on our world about five years from now, and all technology in the story either exists in labs or is rumored to exist. With its electrifying sentences, subtle humor, and an intriguing main character, listeners are sure to find something that resonates with them in this groundbreaking cyberpunk science fiction thriller.

This book is a good guess about the advances of future tech but it did not cover so many areas and because of that I wasn't impressed.

Good guess!

Absolutely loved it. Genuinely original with some great nerdy references to classic science fiction. Found myself rationing it out.

New wave cyber punk

Writing was OK. Reading was, surprisingly, unemotional. Plot was limited and fairly obvious. The writer failed to articulate well the main 'skill' of the protagonist. Having listened to the end I'm still not sure what his ability is and why it was anymore useful than simply 'not being an idiot'.

Disappointing

Something doesn't quite work - from the very beginning, the writing style, the over-use of tech gadgetry, the predictable villain profile, the machine-gun narrative, the alpha male silliness. Sorry, not for me ... maybe I ventured too far off my my normal path and others will love this story.
