Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 50 minutes

Release date: July 9, 2024

Genres: Apocalyptic & Dystopian

Publisher's Summary:

The apocalypse isn't what it used to be. As the number of resources dwindles, survivors are getting more desperate. People are getting more violent. The world is getting darker. Dragged away from the Magic Kingdom by the same Red Caps that helped Bloom hunt him down, Patrick Deen comes out of his injury delirium somewhere on the North Carolina coast, one thousand miles from Ben. One thousand miles from home. To get back to Fort Doom, he'll lead a ragtag crew across a cruel and forgotten country. When they meet the charismatic Roman Marwood, they'll join forces to try to make it to the Gulf . . . but it won't be smooth sailing. Lunatic scientists, sadistic pirates, casual-Friday cannibals, and slavering dusters choke the landscape, and even Patrick might not have the wits to navigate that gauntlet. He used to understand the world. But now that world is broken.

Title: Anthem

Author: Ayn Rand

Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 20 minutes

Release date: July 8, 2024

Genres: Apocalyptic & Dystopian

Publisher's Summary:

'Anthem' by Ayn Rand is a dystopian novella set in a future society where individuality and personal identity have been eradicated in favor of collectivism. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, rebels against the oppressive regime that forbids any expression of self or independent thought. Through clandestine experiments and discoveries, he rediscovers electricity and realizes the power of the individual mind. However, his newfound knowledge threatens the established order, leading him to confront the authorities and ultimately flee into the wilderness with the woman he loves. The novella explores themes of individualism versus collectivism, the power of knowledge, and the importance of personal identity in a society that seeks to erase it. Ayn Rand's writing style in 'Anthem' is stark and introspective, focusing intensely on the inner thoughts and conflicts of the protagonist. The narrative unfolds as a personal journal, written by Equality 7-2521, reflecting his growing awareness of self and his struggle against societal norms. Through his journey, Rand critiques the dangers of conformity and the suppression of individualism, advocating instead for the pursuit of personal happiness and intellectual freedom. 'Anthem' serves as a philosophical exploration of human nature and the consequences of sacrificing individuality for the sake of collective unity, resonating with themes that continue to provoke thought and debate among readers.

Title: [Spanish] - Oryx y Crake (Trilogía de MaddAddam 1)

Series: #1 of Trilogía de MaddAddam

Author: Margaret Atwood

Narrator: Diego Rousselon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 39 minutes

Release date: July 4, 2024

Genres: Apocalyptic & Dystopian

Publisher's Summary:

Una conmovedora historia sobre el último habitante del planeta en un inquietante mundo postapocalíptico. Primera parte de la llamada Trilogía de MaddAddam. Oryx y Crake es una inolvidable historia de amor y una conmovedora imagen de un cercano e inquietante horizonte postapocalíptico. Conocido como Jimmy antes de que el planeta se viese asolado por una serie de desastres naturales, Hombre de las Nieves llora la pérdida de Crake, su mejor amigo, y de la bella y esquiva Oryx, de quien ambos estaban enamorados, mientras lucha por sobrevivir en absoluta soledad sobre la faz de la Tierra. A merced de los elementos, acechado por los recuerdos y sin más compañía que la de los Hijos de Crake, esos seres de ojos verdes que lo consideran una especie de profeta, Hombre de las Nieves se pregunta cómo ha podido cambiar todo en tan poco tiempo y emprende un doble viaje hacia su pasado y hacia la burbuja de alta tecnología creada por Crake, el lugar donde empezó todo. La crítica ha dicho... «Margaret Atwood no solo es una escritora brillante, es también una de las más premiadas, de más éxito de nuestros tiempos. Se ha convertido en una intelectual a la que muchos recurrimos en busca de respuesta, como una suerte de visionaria.» Sandra Sabaté, El intermedio «Con una historia de amor que se va descubriendo según avanza la historia, un análisis de los conflictos familiares y las relaciones paterno y maternofiliales, y un sentimiento permanente de soledad, Oryx y Crake imagina un futuro distópico no muy lejos de la realidad en algunos aspectos. [...] Salamandra continúa la recuperación de lo mejor de la obra de Margaret Atwood publicando, por primera vez completa en español esta visionaria trilogía distópica sobre el fin del mundo. Y, aunque nos dé un poco de miedo descubrir qué nuevo futuro 'posible' se le pasa por la cabeza, estamos deseando devorar el próximo.» El Español «Un argumento que anticipa un futuro tan próximo que podemos olerlo desde aquí [...]. Atwood se ha superado a sí misma.» Georgia Straight «A la altura de las grandes distopías del siglo XX como Un mundo feliz, 1984 o Mercaderes del espacio en cuanto a su impacto dramático y fertilidad imaginativa. [...] Un retrato feroz de la globalización y de un mundo que se desgarra por sus costuras ecológicas [...]. Un libro majestuoso.» The Washington Post «Un amplio lienzo en el que Atwood luce su brillante talento para la sátira y los juegos de palabras, así como su considerable nivel de conocimiento del mundo natural.» Quill & Quiere «Un viaje narrativo de una viveza maravillosa.» National Post «Perfecta, divertida y satírica. Imaginativa y profética. Incluso apocalíptica y extrañamente plausible. [...]. Brillante.» Winnipeg Free Press «Los escritores contemporáneos raras veces escriben sobre ciencia o tecnología. Margaret Atwood aborda ambos campos -y muchos más- en una novela sorprendente.» The Economist

Publisher's Summary:

Los ganadores del Premio Hugo, Brandon Sanderson y Mary Robinette Kowal, presentan La original, una novela exclusiva para audiolibro, un thriller de ciencia ficción en el que una mujer lucha por descubrir su propia identidad y sobrevivir a las fuerzas que amenazan su misma existencia. *Incluye MÚSICA y EFECTOS DE SONIDO* En el futuro cercano, la humanidad ha escogido la vida… pagando un precio. La tecnología de nanoides inyectables es la savia que fluye por las venas de cada individuo que desea experimentar el mundo a través de la lente de su propia tematización. Aunque todavía es posible morir por heridas graves, la vida se ha vuelto más fácil en una sociedad liberada donde la automatización y la renta universal permiten que la gente se dedique a sus pasiones en lugar de tener un empleo a la antigua usanza. El gobierno proporciona unas cabinas en las que los ciudadanos de bien pueden renovar sus nanoides semanalmente, obteniendo un mantenimiento que les prolonga la vida a cambio de renunciar a su intimidad personal. Pero ¿qué sucede con quienes renuncian, con quienes osan resistirse a ser inmortales y se arriesgan a que los borren bajo la mirada de un sistema de seguridad gubernamental capaz de sustraerles su misma identidad? Cuando Holly Winseed despierta en una habitación de hospital, con lagunas en la memoria y una nueva personalidad impuesta, un equipo de agentes del gobierno se apresura a comunicarle su nuevo objetivo. Instándola a infiltrarse en la banda terrorista ICON y derrotarla, los agentes explican a Holly que ha pasado a ser una réplica provisional y que tiene una semana para localizar y matar a su original por el asesinato de su marido, Jonathan. Si lo consigue, ocupará el papel de su original en la sociedad. Si fracasa, su vida terminará. Los progresos de Holly están vigilados por un contacto oficial que le proporciona información mientras ella se enfrenta al mundo robótico y vacío que la rodea, descubriendo que los demás ven la vida a través de un tema superpuesto que ellos mismos escogen. Valiéndose de sus nuevas habilidades de combate y deducción recién implantadas, Holly se enfrenta tanto a ataques terroristas como a las dudas sobre su propia integridad, a medida que las pistas la llevan en dirección a su original… y a la verdad acerca de Jonathan. Al final, un cuerpo permanecerá y otro desaparecerá. Aunque persistan las dudas, una cosa es segura: la vida ya nunca será igual.

Title: 1984

Author: George Orwell

Narrator: Theo Solomon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 18 minutes

Release date: July 2, 2024

Genres: Apocalyptic & Dystopian

Publisher's Summary:

One of the most celebrated classics of the twentieth century, this cautionary tale of a man trapped under the gaze of an authoritarian state is more relevant now than ever before. “Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed for ever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.” Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth—or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak—where he alters newspapers and reports to follow the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother’s propaganda. Beneath his outward conformity, however, Winston dreams of sharing his treasonable thoughts andbreaking through the loneliness in which he lives. Thus he takes his first dangerous steps, writing a diary of his doubts and then falling in love with a woman of the Party, the beautiful and brave Julia. They know their love is doomed, but Julia says, “They can make you say anything—anything—but they can’t make you believe it.” But in Oceania, there is no possibility of solidarity, rebellion, or love—and the Party can reach anywhere. First published in 1949, this disturbing novel that George Orwell wrote during a time of great social and political unrest centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of people and behaviors within society. This classic of dystopian fiction contributed new words that became part of common English usage, including Big Brother, doublethink, newspeak, and thoughtcrime. The adjective 'Orwellian' has come to mean government deception, surveillance, and misleading terminology.Cover illustration & Design by Derek Anderson and Joel Anderson. © Anderson Design Group, Inc.
