Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Michael Crouch’s narration brings life to Lee Bacon’s imaginative narrative, imbuing XR_935 with a relatable warmth that contrasts sharply with its mechanical surroundings. The pacing is brisk yet contemplative, making for an engaging listen. However, the abrupt shifts between futuristic dialogue and childlike wonder occasionally feel slightly jarring. Despite this minor hiccup, the emotional resonance of encountering another sentient being resonates deeply, urging listeners to consider the complexities of ethics in artificial intelligence.
