About this listen

The nature of evolution is to move slowly.
Until it doesn’t.
If humanity approached an evolutionary crisis....
Would we know it?

Bendik is a once-in-a-millennia genius. He does. He recognizes quantum computing will be the catalyst. More, he knows there are only three potential outcomes for homo-sapiens: evolution, enslavement, or destruction.

Bendik has an idea that will trigger rapid evolution. His globe-spanning marvel of engineering will change how humanity lives.

Now, he only needs to train a couple hundred million people to use it without tipping off the powers that be. How does someone do that?

His son, Austin, unknowingly has a solution. An immersive game world indistinguishable from the real world, where playing can heal trauma and activate advanced, dormant DNA.

Bendik funds his idea, and planet Kuora is soon born. When Austin and friends start their beta test, Kuora captivates them. It can work.

Intentional evolution may save humanity. If so, the implications will ripple across an unseen universe.

The story is very well designed and clearly articulated, and it personally makes me question the separation of reality and fantasy. The rpg aspect is intriguing, and keeps me wanting more. The narration was as I expected, perfect.

Spectacular

the world building is amazing but this book was close to 16 hours of pure world building with at least 4 main plots skipping about in different chapters and very little progress in the plots.
feels like 3 different book series smashed together and feels like every side character is trying to be a main character which makes you loose interest in the actual main character.

wish it were not so
