Resumen del Editor
Henry and Nomi are thrilled to find out they’re going to be parents. There is so much to think about, so many decisions they’ll need to make, about feeding schedules and childcare and schools. But there’s one decision they never would have imagined facing, and even considering the choice is a minefield of emotions and experiences and expectations.
After all, the only thing that hangs in the balance is the course of their child’s life.
Would You Like to Choose the Race? is written by Arvind Ethan David and stars Christine Elmore as Nomi Cook and Adam Campbell as Henry Cook.
Earworms is a series of short speculative-fiction dramas–tales of what might have been...or might yet be...or perhaps in fact are, if only you were paying attention...if only you were listening.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Her targets were the titans of their era—billionaires, movie stars, politicians. Dorian said they had one thing in common: they had all committed crimes against women.

Arto has a problem. For one, he's a robot. He’s awoken with no memory of who he is, with nothing but a mysterious letter, in a world bereft of those fleshy, talky things that made him. So why is he alone, and where have all the people gone? He stumbles upon a lost, cheeky kitten and selects it as his best friend for the adventure of a lifetime, trying to make sense of all this existence stuff. Just as Arto begins to fear he's the only sentient thing left on the whole planet, a cantankerous robot falls from the sky. She says she's his sister.

Historia
Professor Edelstein examines the enduring appeal of Judy Blume’s books. Over seven lessons, you’ll learn how Blume pioneered middle-grade and young adult (YA) literature and helped to make these genres the global sensations they are today. You’ll identify the themes and motifs that run throughout her books, and you’ll review Blume’s books as literary work worthy of analysis. You’ll also see why the very act of questioning (about the existence of God, the persistence of racism, the unwritten rules of suburbia) is so central to Blume’s vision of coming-of-age literature.

This is the future . . .
I’m always pleased when speculative fiction does what it is supposed to do which is not only to make one think about the future we’re heading toward, but to also examine where we are.
In that regard this story is extremely timely. This is a conversation many potential partners need to discuss even without the science fictions elements. I respect a creator espousing a view or preference even if it’s one I disagree with; writing is still art after all, so I have no problems with things a character might say and do as some people might. I can’t control what people say and think in the real world, what makes one think they should have a say about it in fiction? My only problem with the story, is that it becomes less a story in the third act and more of a lecture. So much so that while I’m not sorry I listened to it, I most likely will only listen to it the one time.

Thought provoking with many strengths and a few weaknesses.
Deconstruction of the notion of race was mostly well done except for outdated terminology like slaves and slave owners. Also Biracial kids who have parents who make racial jokes like the dad does about Native Americans sometimes struggle and feel like they’re a joke so maybe don’t gloss over the impact of Henry doing that in the beginning. . Other than that, well done.

First time parents
Real short premise of this book, which I hope becomes a classic must read in the near future, a biracial couple is given a choice of what race they want their unborn child to be and they have three days to decide or the “mold” is set to pure genetics. This book leaves out things such as cost, since the health insurance is going to cover this non-invasive nudge. Easy peasy then the majority of parents in the world with good health insurance could have some form of a white baby. How much easier could the world be to divide rather than blend.
I digress, as the insurance covering an easy non-invasive procedure really little to do with this short book, but is worth mentioning for people that like to think. Getting to the real heart of the book is whether or not the parents would choose an easier life for their unborn child. The book does briefly discuss some of the difficulties black children and people have faced over the years; however, that gives part to what a difficult decision it would be because most parents want what is best for their kids.
Wanting what is best for their kids is a first time parent dream. This dream has diminishing returns. I then found myself yelling at the characters to let it be. Let your child become the glorious person he is meant to be. I had full realization that I must be a naturalist.
After the book ended is where I decided that I hope many people will read or listen to this book. Let it become a classic. This is no offense to anyone, but in a world where 20 year olds think they need Botox to look younger, people are willing to take miracle medicines at $1K per month to lose weight, and scientist are willing to bring back extinct animals that we as a species should learn to mourn, maybe we should really put some deep thought into being pushed in certain directions or being divide by race or a social class.
Again, this is another great book by Arvin Ethan David. It is short, please read. If not, please think about how decisions are impactful and what are the purpose of those decisions. Are we as a society being lead?

What a fascinating mindset
"Would You Like to Choose the Race?" is a thought-provoking and engaging audiobook that explores the concept of race and identity in the context of a fictional society where individuals can choose their own race. Through this thought experiment, David delves into the complexities of race, power dynamics, and social hierarchy.
Here are some key points from the audiobook:
* David presents a compelling argument that race is a social construct, and that the concept of race is often used to maintain power and privilege.
* He explores the idea that if individuals could choose their own race, it could potentially disrupt the existing social hierarchy and challenge the status quo.
* David also raises important questions about the implications of such a system, including the potential for cultural appropriation and the erasure of marginalized experiences.
* Through his thought experiment, David encourages listeners to think critically about the ways in which race operates in our society and to consider the possibilities of a more fluid and inclusive understanding of identity.
Overall, I found "Would You Like to Choose the Race?" to be a thought-provoking and engaging audiobook that challenges listeners to think critically about the complexities of race and identity. David's use of a fictional society as a thought experiment allows him to explore these complex issues in a unique and compelling way.
I specifically found the part where Henry tells Nomi that it is essentially her decision about if they move forward with a decision and she replied back with No, it's not just my decision this is our baby and you are the father you have just as much right as i do we'll make this decision together.
Giving the opinion that Father's have equal rights as to the decisions of their unborn children. it's just too bad that this is a fictional society because in real life Father's are second class citizens and have no rights when it comes to their unborn children.
No one should tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do with their body but it's personal responsibility to accept the actions of your behavior and if a decision to end a life that was created is just a one sided choice that is unfair to the father and to the unborn child. Parents should have equal rights because they are both just as responsible as the other and contribute emotionally, financially, and genetically to their child's future. Hence, it is only fair that both have an equal say in decisions that significantly impact their offspring.
Just like in this audiobook they had a choice and they made it together considering each other's feelings and beliefs.
What a wonderful world that would be.
