About this listen

A future society about to collapse. A reluctant hero alone in the world. When he suspects sabotage, will he abandon his newfound friend to save humanity?

Samuel has grown accustomed to the mindless routine of the last human colony. Life is good for him and the other survivors: prefabricated meals three times a day, a freshly made bed each night, and hours in between with nothing to do but play and relax. But when the machines that regulate their community begin to malfunction, Samuel and the other colonists face a test for the first time in their existence.

Aided by his determined new friend Penny, Samuel struggles to repair each breakdown. But when they discover a group of shadowy saboteurs behind the colony’s mechanical failures, Samuel and Penny fear their idyllic community is not alone.

Facing a treacherous journey to confront their attackers, can Samuel rescue the colony if it means leaving Penny behind?

Our Dried Voices is a thought-provoking, instant classic dystopian novel. If you like false utopias, societies harboring dark secrets, and prophetic visions of humanity’s future, then you’ll love Greg Hickey’s perfectly engineered new world.

I really enjoyed the book and listened almost in one go. Got late that night ...
Very accessible in the style of thought experiments. Good idea to reduce the novel subject to a limited number of subjects. I also enjoyed how the language alternated between poetic landscape descriptions or descriptions of what the eyes of people can show and down-to-the-point language.
In case there is going to be a sequel: I am looking forward to it.
