The Son

Nanomachines, Book 1

De: Nikolai Novikov, Paul Leathley - translator

Narrado por: Brian Wiggins

I am a son, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect?

Having gained self-awareness while still in my mother's belly, I realized that this was my chance. Being born was the first step. Then at one years old, I would have a college degree, and at five, I would be a billionaire. I didn't care that I remembered nothing of the past. This being a magical world, and with lots of smart tech, too, I'd catch up in no time, wouldn't I?

Yeah, right.

"This baby's dying!"—That is what I heard in the first minutes of my life.

I was dying? What? In the very first minute? Was this some kind of sick joke? Was the whole world against me?

Something had to be done....

Refreshing and fun

It’s funny and entertaining. Turn it on and smile at some of the absurdity but really true human nature. Just a good entertaining audio book without pushing any obvious agenda which is so hard to find. Narrator was great looking forward to the next one.

cute and easy

low stress OP baby. universe has magic system that is slow reveal. kind of interesting society..would get second book

OMG The funniest book ever!!!!!

I'm laughing so much 🤣 with this book. The narrator is so spot on with the characters too. That baby is the best! Definitely worth the credit.

Twist abound but that makes it interesting

This is something that has some really interesting twist to it. And gives you a good mystery. And that what makes so you want to keep listening and see what happens next

awesome

Really good story and it made me laugh a lot with all the stuff Michael got up to and with some serious moments too

accelerated growth stories aren't my cup of tea

I like the concept of the reborn person not having memories of the previous life. But why force the growth of a baby's body into a toddler. I kinda get it from a story standpoint, wanting to show the person underneath. But to me it's kinda horrifying. *Monsterous"
