About this listen
While The Player Sleeps charts the story of a city where each and every inhabitant, as though the individual teeth of a single cog which drives a vast clockwork machine, functions selflessly for their one ultimate master:
The player
For, as we would understand it, this is the city of the video game—the urban sandbox, an open world simulation, and the inhabitants are merely the actors upon a digitised stage.
Existing solely for the entertainment of HIM...
This short science fiction story from the excellent Scott Tierney is masterfully narrated by Rachael Warren-Allen.
