Crosstalk

De: Connie Willis

Narrado por: Mia Barron

Part romantic comedy and part social satire, here one of science fiction's most lauded authors examines the consequences of having too much connectivity, and what happens in a world where, suddenly, nothing is private. One of science fiction's premiere humorists turns her eagle eye to the crushing societal implications of telepathy.

In a not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure that has been promised to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. So when Briddey Flannigan's fiancé proposes that he and Briddey undergo the procedure, she is delighted! Only, the results aren't quite as expected. Instead of gaining an increased empathetic link with her fiancé, Briddey finds herself hearing the actual thoughts of one of the nerdiest techs in her office. And that's the least of her problems.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An engaging and satirical look at relationships, technology, and connectivity in the digital age is expertly narrated by Mia Barron.... Barron does an outstanding job of distinguishing between the conversations in Briddey's head and those happening in real life as well as adding authenticity to each of the characters Briddey interacts with."

Disappointed

I love Connie Willis but must say that I wanted to smack the lead character and yell at the narrator. I realize this is a rather extreme reaction but seriously when the narrator can't even pronounce the lead characters name properly it is nothing but irritating

Liked This One More than I Imagined I Would

A little more than halfway through the book, I ended up buying a copy as a gift for a friend. This is a very sweet, lighthearted love story that unfolds in a very tender way. I feel like the end was a little rushed, or at least intruded on by another character, but I overall enjoyed the book. I didn't expect it to suck me in as deeply as it did, and I found myself excited to find out what was gonna happen next.

A great read! Kept me thinking, searching reality

This book is a fanciful story. But the author has done a beautiful job pulling you into it. The story is well thought out and consistent in all the details. The characters are believable and narration was great. I don't usually read Fantasy, but this book kept me thinking. And it comes with a terrific twist at the end! BTW: EED is not a real medical procedure - or is it?...

Interesting concept

Interesting concept, but the main character was annoying. Also the twist wasn’t enough for me.

Mid: good narration, great start, slow

I really liked how this book started. It was adorable and unique. I eventually pushed the speed to 2x just to finish it. The entire book could have been about 6 hours shorter if the main character had a single social boundary or said “no, I don’t want to” once in a while. Main character is a spineless fool and everyone else is a liar. This book was exhausting and I’m glad it’s over.
