About this listen

An AI, an investigator, and a geneticist walk into a library...

It’s the year 2101, and half of England is underwater, but the horrors of the Melt are becoming a distant memory thanks to ArkTech, the company that saved the world.

The ArkTech Territory is the only home Charlotte Vance has ever known, so when Ben, the company’s curious AI, starts asking awkward questions about human behaviour, she's only too happy to help.

But as she investigates the mystery of why a geneticist is stealing pages from library books, Charlotte is forced to confront unsettling truths about her past, and about the company she’s always trusted.

The deeper she digs, the more she realises her discoveries could threaten everything she holds dear. Charlotte must make a choice – and the wrong decision could cost her everything.

An engrossing story, brilliantly performed

This was an engrossing story, told with a quirky sense of humour, but delivering some emotional gut punches and addressing some issues that really resonate for us today. The setting is great - very different, yet very familiar. Also, I like how the detective story takes you to all sorts of unexpected places. I thought the narration really captured the tone of the story and the personality of the different characters, human and AI. Highly recommended!
