BLACKFISH CITY

In a futuristic world, the remnants of human society gather on constructed islands in the Arctic Ocean after climate wars have all but destroyed the earth. This story focuses on one such island, which is administered by AIs with minimal human involvement. It unfolds primarily through the separate stories of four main characters for whom narrator Vikas Adam creates distinct voices through a mix of accents, pace, and vocal tones. Interspersed are episodes of newscasts providing general information about the society as whole, which Adam delivers with a variety of voices. Adam maintains a forward momentum that is particularly helpful in the beginning of the audiobook before the individual stories begin to coalesce.
