About this listen
'Engrossing ... it will make you forget all about your favourite streaming service for a few nights...' Stephen King
'Featuring an explosive twist-in-the-tail climax, this terrifying hybrid of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Zamyatin's We is a triumph' Guardian
In a world ravaged by bankruptcy and unemployment, Cloud is the only company left worth working for. But what will it cost you?
Amidst the wreckage of America, Cloud reigns supreme. Cloud brands itself not just as an online storefront, but as a global saviour. Yet, beneath the sunny exterior, lurks something far more sinister.
Paxton never thought he’d be working Security for the company that ruined his life, much less that he’d be moving into one of their sprawling live-work facilities. But compared to what’s left outside, perhaps Cloud isn’t so bad. Better still, through his work he meets Zinnia, who fills him with hope for their shared future.
Except that Zinnia is not what she seems. And Paxton, with his all-access security credentials, might just be her meal ticket.
As Paxton and Zinnia’s agendas place them on a collision course, they’re about to learn just how far the Cloud will go to make the world a better place.
To beat the system, you have to be inside it.

The plot of the story was entirely believable and very entertaining.
This is a story I didn't actually want to end. Not once did I get bored.
The audible narration was very good.
Hooked

However that aside, the story-telling is excellent and I found it very hard to stop listening when real life had to be attended to. Another thing which I liked was the all too rare thing of have different characters voiced by different narrators rather than one or two narrators putting different voices on!
I particularly loved the juxtaposition of the storytelling from the founder's perspective and what it's actually like 'on the floor' - how dehumanising it all is. Yet the cleverness of the storytelling highlights how reasonable, charismatic people like this can make the most unreasonable and plain wrong viewpoints seem. I suppose this is how cult leaders do what they do so well.
Very definitely recommended.
Engrossing ! Fantastic narration. Plausible!

no surprise about the burgers, but eating the corpses of cows and pigs is utterly disgusting and viciously cruel too and most people think this is normal, so not too sure what the issue is there.
i was expecting something dramatic like cryogenics / immortality and I wont give a spoiler but it wasnt exciting.
story is worth a credit for the journey, pacing and build up, but dropped stars for the damp squib ending,
enjoyed this but poor ending
