About this listen

Children of Delcath weaves themes of identity, duty, ambition, and the interplay between human emotion and artificial intelligence into the background of a riveting coming-of-age tale. Afrit, a young miner on Kur Colony, grapples with societal expectations and personal dreams as she is embroiled in corporate manipulation and nepotism.

Delcath's socio-political structure invites listeners to ponder the implications of artificial womb technology, therapy via mind link, and artificial intelligence.

In a world this advanced, what has happened to the caregiver? Has the family been abandoned? Or is this a new world with old problems?

For Afrit, it seems all the miners from Delcath are embroiled in corporate manipulation and she must safeguard her own destiny while dodging the advances of vastly more experienced miners.

In this riveting coming-of-age tale, Afrit's life at the edge of civilization takes a dramatic turn. Seismic events force a temporary reassignment to the gestational unit where she must help tend the artificial wombs. There, Afrit hopes to secure a path to advancement, but the catty workers are obstructing her responsibility and her new mentor is the most bizarre off-world enigma she ever met. Desperately seeking to latch onto someone she can trust, the consequences of her choices continue to mount as the colony begins evacuation.

"Children of Delcath" is a compelling narrative that explores the resilience of the human spirit. The dilemmas faced by Afrit underpin the efficient way gender is managed in a medically advanced corporate civilization.
