1999

A Novella

By: Erik E. Hanberg

Narrated by: Doug Mackey

What if the year 1999 repeated...forever?

Will’s first time through 1999 was a pretty good year. And, the second time was even better. But, as the year continues to repeat, and as the world realizes that they might be trapped in 1999 forever, Earth’s civilizations start to unravel.

What is causing the time loop? Why is the world stuck in 1999? Is it the Y2K bug? Or something else entirely?

When Will discovers the shocking truth causing the global disaster - and his own unwitting role in it - he will be asked to give up everything in order to save the world and get humanity back on track to the year 2000.

Fans of time travel and time loop stories will love Hanberg’s sleek and fast style in this mind-bending novella.

Gave this a try on a whim, glad I did!

I recently listened to the audiobook novella "1999" and was blown away by how much I enjoyed it. The creative premise - a society on the brink of a technological singularity - immediately grabbed my attention, and the dark humor delivered perfectly deadpan by the narrator kept me hooked from start to finish.

But "1999" is more than just a clever sci-fi story - it's also a thoughtful commentary on modern society and the dangers of unrestrained technological progress. As the characters navigate the chaos on the brink of the singularity, the novella asks important questions about what it means to be human and the value of connection and community.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the bittersweet ending of "1999," which left me feeling both satisfied and reflective. All in all, "1999" is a clever, thought-provoking, and ultimately poignant novella that I'd highly recommend. It's definitely worth a listen, particularly if you're a fan of stories set near dysotpia's edge. Five stars!
