Acerca de esta escucha
Tony Fallow has a sticky problem: Everything that isn't bolted down literally wants to be near him! Fearing he must be one of the Sovereign, a remarkable new minority of superpowered people who recently revealed themselves, Tony travels to the Donner Institute for Sovereign Studies with hopes of being cured. But as he tells his story to a human doctor working at the institute, the boorish Tony soon finds his problem might be more complicated than he suspected and bigger trouble than he could have imagined!
Get a glimpse of the early days of the Sovereign era, an alternate-history story world where the appearance of superpowered individuals disrupts the late 20th century and forever alters human destiny.

Flynn is stuck - depressed, recently dumped, and living at his mom’s house. The supermarket was supposed to change all that. An ordinary job and a steady check. Work isn’t work when it’s saving you from yourself. But things aren’t quite as they seem in these aisles. Arriving to work one day to a crime scene, Flynn’s world collapses as the secrets of his tortured mind are revealed. And Flynn doesn’t want to go looking for answers at the supermarket. Because something there seems to be looking for him.

*My name is Ellis DeAngelo.* I tend to get caught in the midst of trouble quite often. I'm an unlucky guy, but fortunate to have friends to help me out. These aren't the memoirs of a geisha you'll be hearing. And most definitely not some soul-searching discovery that depicts eating, praying, and loving. This is so much better...or worse, depending on your perspective.

Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon - Private eye Doc Sportello surfaces, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era. In this lively yarn, Thomas Pynchon, working in an unaccustomed genre that is at once exciting and accessible, provides a classic illustration of the principle that if you can remember the '60s, you weren't there. It's been a while since Doc Sportello has seen his ex- girlfriend. Suddenly she shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer whom she just happens to be in love with.

Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/ guitar/ saxophone/ zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast.... and pointing and laughing.

In David Lipsky's view, David Foster Wallace was the best young writer in America. Wallace's pieces for Harper's magazine in the '90s were, according to Lipsky, like hearing for the first time the brain voice of everybody I knew: Here was how we all talked, experienced, thought. It was like smelling the damp in the air, seeing the first flash from a storm a mile away. You knew something gigantic was coming.

Bukowski's alter ego, Henry Chinaski, returns, revelling in his eternal penchant for booze, women, and horse-racing as he makes the precarious journey from poet to screenwriter. Based on Bukowski's experiences when working on the film Barfly, the absurdity and egotism of the film industry are laid bare in this deadpan, touching, and funny glimpse into the endless negotiations and back-stabbings of la-la land. Hollywood is an irreverent jaunt that serves up the beating heart of Hollywood with razor-sharp humour.

A great visit to the Sovereign Era
I'm a fan already and loved this succinct and well told story of a handful of lives in this Sovereign Era setting. Delightful treat for existing fans and an engaging intrigue for new readers to jump deeper into this world with the novel Brave Men Run once your hooked!

Would you listen to The World Revolves Around You again? Why?
If you are a fan of the Sovereign Era, this was an enjoyable story. But, i think you will have to know what the universe is about before you understand what is going on.
What did you like best about this story?
Great twist at the end!
