About this listen

Dr. Solomon Taiwo had everything he ever wanted, which included an aspiring career, a peaceful life, and a beautiful wife. All thanks to the Xia, advanced entities that brought peace and tranquility upon the Earth. His world was turned upside down when his wife contracted Chinkins - an airborne virus that left individuals with amnesia and rabid behavior - and it's this very virus that is ending countless lives.

Loved every second of this.
An uncomplicated but deep story which is perfectly written and narrated which paints a beautiful universe which is instantly accessible and despite personally being new to the world Solomon has created, it felt strangely familiar.
Mixing reality, personas, AI and artefacts it's compelling listening and for hardcore and newcomers to the world of sci fi, the duration is perfect.
Highly recommended.

A wonderful blend of sci-fi and humanity.
