Publisher's Summary:
We found paradise. Now what?
Student Paul Kostakis has caught the attention of Ludo, an Artificial Intelligence obsessed with games and stories. In return for a few little favors, she's offering "brain uploading". She can fatally dice your brain, scan it, and recreate you in a virtual-reality heaven she controls. You can do anything in there: become a griffin, upgrade your mind, fall in love, or go mad.
When Paul accepts Ludo's offer, sooner than he would've liked, he learns that people can find real problems even in a digital world. One of them is that Ludo has powerful opponents who want to shut her down, bring death to her immortal people, and end her game forever.

Beautiful and tough !!!
This is the hardest one for me to review,
I actually had to listen twice to this book to really really get it and fully understand what's going on because it feels like that the author worked really hard to make this book spacial which I believe was a mistake, he already had a great story in his head, it was not necessary to add to it, make it to complicated that even me who loves hard core science-fiction had problems understanding or following the story line that as I said I actually re listened a second time to the book to really enjoy it.
The story is there and it's a great one, I would advise to the author to drop 2 hours and make the story less complicated, then it will become a masterpiece.
Every thing about the performance is perfect, each voice is right on and the sound Quality is perfect so no problems there.
Like I said this one is a tough one, I do recommend it, it's a good book !!!
Thousand Tales
Paul is a young man with a bright future ahead of him. He started playing Thousand Tales, meeting Ludo and changing the course of his life forever. Paul isnt the only human character we follow in this novel, but hes the most central to Ludo and her development. Hes the pro-Ludo camp, throwing himself into her adventures and immersing himself in her world.
the audio played a very place in the book
I don't think I would have enjoyed this book so much if the audio wasn't that good the book is interesting don't get me wrong but the audio made it more yes I had some issues with the book and no they're not serious but this is the reason the samples have to be on audio the narrator made the book a live in my head
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
I like the audio book better
A pretty wide sweeping story about the beginning of humans migrating to a digital lives. The one way upload made me squeemish reading the book. The narration was well performed and allowed me to focus on the story. I liked the story. The uncomfortable moral and ethical issues were handled well and a focus of the book.
A true gem.
This is a thought provoking and very enjoyable listen. I got a lot more than I expected from this story.
Starting with the setting. On one side you have real world politics, conspiracy theories and a consistent near future world. On the other you have the wonder and near infinity of possibilities brain uploading provides. The conflict and interactions between the two is a majority part of the story.
