AFTER WORLD

by | Read by Sura Siu, Emily Tremaine, Cindy Kay, Kevin R. Free

Science Fiction • 10.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2023

Sura Siu's and Emily Tremaine's alternating narrations plunge listeners into the events surrounding a government-sanctioned human-extinction event. Siu's performance shifts in tone and cadence as the AI called "Storyworker" tells the story of Sen, a teenage "Witness" to the end of humankind. The initially straightforward account merges with journals and surveillance footage of Sen's final years. As Storyworker becomes less objective, which becomes evident in Siu's softening diction, it still cannot quite fully express the human spirit. Tremaine, as Sen, gives the character emotional complexity that shows her humanity. Cindy Kay, as former sci-fi writer Wynn, and Kevin R. Free, as high school textbook author Cugat, provide additional world-building. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
