Acerca de esta escucha
We saw in the first of the Quantum series that a teenager at a science fair gets mixed up with a parent’s "quantum entanglement" experiment, a phenomenon that Einstein said was impossible. This quirk of the quantum world, through a little help from these Earth scientists, results in a communication link with similar scientist on a recently discovered exoplanet.
As the success of this communication link grows, multiple Earth government organizations frown on this kind of interchange with "a foreign power", forcing a little known United Nations Secretariat, UNOOSA, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, to step in.
Unknown to our Earth scientists, certain factions on another planet also object to this interchange, with actions that brings their work to the brink of disaster.
With continuing help from the another planet, they discover there had been communication thousands of years ago between the two worlds, involving the ancient Egyptians and other Earth civilizations, raising all kinds of questions and suspicions about these new "friends". As their exchange of scientific knowledge continues to increase, even more impossible quantum secrets are revealed.

When Asha said she wanted to give the Chinese hackers a piece of her mind, she didn’t mean it literally. But that’s what happens when medical technology goes awry. Doctors said they could train her brain to interpret digital signals from the camera in her artificial eye. The module even has Wi-Fi so they can monitor signal traffic across her optic nerve. What they didn’t anticipate was that her brain would figure out how to use the Wi-Fi connection both ways. Asha can now see the internet.

Before the internet became widely known as a global tool for terrorists, one perceptive US citizen recognized its ominous potential. Armed with clear evidence of computer espionage, he began a highly personal quest to expose a hidden network of spies that threatened national security. But would the authorities back him up? Cliff Stoll's dramatic firsthand account is "a computer-age detective story, instantly fascinating [and] astonishingly gripping" - Smithsonian.

Any kind of death annuls everything except his present knowledge and returns him to the past. This is a good way to test all sorts of things. That is, it would be, if not for one little thing.... This loop has real lords and it's unlikely that they'll be happy to hear about an uninvited guest. And that isn't his only problem - all of his memories of the last year have simply disappeared, but the world around him has changed in the meantime.

Aiyana and Kendra Cassidy never anticipated becoming the key to humanity's survival. As leaders of the Heavy Lift Corporation, their objective is clear: secure humanity’s future among the stars. Politics? Who needs it, when the galaxy is calling? The consequences of failure are stark: three-quarters of Earth’s population face starvation within decades, and the Solarian Union’s dominance could become unassailable. Success, however, means a rebirth for humanity—a chance to explore the stars, establish new colonies, and reclaim control over their destiny.
