GUARDIAN ANGELS AND OTHER MONSTERS

A skilled, diverse ensemble cast narrates Wilson's immersive, hard-hitting tales of technology, humanity, and their many inevitable intersections. From robots and teleporters to cataclysmic events, Wilson's pieces share common themes, but each is unique in its scope and style, and the choice of a separate narrator for each segment helps ground listeners in the specific reality of each story. Fourteen narrators use slightly different pacing and approaches, yet all move fluidly through Wilson's concepts, making even the most advanced and futuristic ideas accessible and intriguing. In-depth characterizations bring out the humanity in each of these flawed, determined protagonists who are attempting in their own ways to make sense of rapidly changing worlds.
