About this listen

Idris Elba and Sabrina Elba present sci-fi mystery thriller Halfway, an Audible Original.

Starring Patricia Allison as Florence, Lenny Henry as Cole, Arinzé Kene as Mark, and George Mackay as Oliver.

Leading the field of artificial intelligence, Halfway, a subsidiary of Soul-Tech, provides customers with the opportunity to digitally upload their minds so that in the eventuality of their death, loved ones will be able to communicate with an AI simulation and gain closure. But at what cost?

A year after her brother Mark’s death, Florence is still consumed by grief. And though her parents encourage her not to dwell on the past, Florence decides to visit Halfway and speak to the simulation of Mark that was created not long before his passing. But instead of putting her mind at ease, speaking with the replica of her brother only unleashes destabilising questions and opens old wounds. Why are Mark’s uploaded memories different from Florence’s? Why are the circumstances surrounding Mark’s death becoming less clear? And what does Halfway have to hide?

Also starring Chizzy Akudolu as Delores, Jeremy Ang Jones as James, Jude Akuwudike as Omar, Sharon D Clarke as Afua, Aurora Dawson-Hunte as Shanice, Kevin N Golding as Jackson, Penny Layden as Anne, Hattie Morahan as Karen, Nneka Okoye as Megan and Grace Saif as Amissha.

A convincing and highly disturbing look at where technology could take us in the future. The premise was sound. The story was tightly written. And the whole was expertly interpreted by a terrific cast. I enjoyed it immensely.

Absolutely brilliant…and disturbing

This is by far my favourite of the new Dolby Atmos immersive stories that Audible has released! The story & performances were engrossing & I didn’t want it to end. Would love to see the authors create a series of Halfway.

Excellent!

I kept thinking this might have an interesting twist, but alas..... The effort put into audio was impressive - practically a play. ...bit I didn't find myself warmed, or inspired, intruiged, or even particularly interested...

Not my style
