About this listen

The stories of The Path of Most Resistance feature curious nonconformists who find themselves pushing back against strange and oppressive social norms. They are mavericks who transgress the boundaries of convention in their strive for freedom and authenticity. No matter if they’re in a Silicon Valley office, the far reaches of space, or dystopian futures where relationships are subjected to totalitarian control, the characters show unshakable conviction in a world plagued with uncertainty. Each story ushers you into a unique reality that unfolds step by step, leaving you with a disturbing new perception of the world.

In “Blind Date,” two lovers chosen for each other by a hidden control system attempt to peel away the layers of their oppressive reality and peer into what they were not meant to see.

In “Expressing,” a pick-up at an ordinary bar turns into a paranormal encounter.

In “The Path of Most Resistance,” a hiring manager and a job candidate go all-in during an interview that will reshape their lives.

In “Red Flagged,” a random passenger is accidentally exposed as a covert rebel fighting for freedom in a society that dictates what one is allowed to know.

In “Miscalibrated,” an interstellar expedition runs into armed conflict with an alien civilization, in which their best chance of avoiding a nuclear war is discovering the underlying truth about the communication differences between humans and these aliens.

In story after story, author Yoav Ilan displays remarkable creativity and intelligence, showing that sci-fi can be as artistic as literary fiction, and that things are never as they seem.

Only partially under science fiction genre as far as I see it.

Yoav Ilan the author of this book got a bunch of stories in here, some totally don’t belong in this collection and some are truly not understandable ( it might be the translation which makes it so hard to get ).
The best story of them all is The Levaya Patkova and still only got it after listening to it a few times to get it all.

Ray Porter narration is beautifully done for all characters in this creation.

Really enjoyed these. Some more than others but they were all good. I really hope Yoan develops some of these into full blown books. I’m eagerly awaiting, if you’re listening Yoan… ;)

Great sci fi & fantasy short stories
