Resumen del Editor
Wan-To was the oldest and must powerful intelligence in the universe, a being who played with star systems as a child plays with marbles. Matter occupied so tiny a part of his vast awareness that humans were utterly beneath his notice.
The colonists of Newmanhome first suffered the effects of Wan-To's games when their planet's stars began to shift, the climate began to cool down, and the colony was forced into a desperate struggle to survive.
Viktor Sorricaine was determined to discover what force had suddenly sent his world hurtling toward the ends of the universe. And the answer was something beyond the scope of his imagination - even if he lived for 4000 years...

Historia
The Boy Who Would Live Forever has a sense of wonder and excitement that will satisfy those who loved Gateway and will delight new listeners as well. In Gateway, long after the alien Heechee abandoned their space-station, Gateway (as humans dubbed it) allowed humans to explore new worlds. The Heechee, alarmed by the alien Kugel whose goal was to destroy all organic lifeforms, had already retreated to the galactic core, where they now lived in peace.

In a vastly overpopulated near-future world, businesses have taken the place of governments and now hold all political power. States exist merely to ensure the survival of huge transnational corporations. Advertising has become hugely aggressive and boasts some of the world’s most powerful executives. Through advertising, the public is constantly deluded into thinking that all the products on the market improve the quality of life.

Roger Torraway watched in horror as the monster lurched, toppled over and died. Project Man Plus had gone suddenly and drastically wrong. The race to colonize Mars was too important, too costly, and America was already too committed, for plans to be scrapped. They would have to make a new Martian. And Roger Torraway was it, candidate for the endless surgery, operation after painful operation, that would enable him to survive on that faraway planet.

Historia
Two of science fiction’s most renowned writers join forces for a storytelling sensation. The Last Theorem is a story of one man’s mathematical obsession, and a celebration of the human spirit and the scientific method. It is also a gripping intellectual thriller in which humanity, facing extermination from all-but-omnipotent aliens, the Grand Galactics, must overcome differences of politics and religion and come together...or perish.

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.

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods.

Great Story!
Where does The World at the End of Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I thought the ending was a little weak, I was sad to find that the author has passed away, and didn't leave a series.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The World at the End of Time?
I have read a plot line similar to this in Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. Relativistic effects and deep time in general are such interesting topics so the conversations and narration surrounding them were fascinating.
What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
William Dufris doesn't get paid enough ha-ha, I listen to books just because he reads them. In fact, its why I listened to this one.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The different societies and how they evolved became interesting. I think most of these hardcore sci fi authors have a lot of politics and civilization extrapolation built into them. This was no exception. It paints a valid picture of a super modern dark age, and something that couldn't be so far over the horizon from us.
Any additional comments?
If you're looking for something like what Reynolds writes, this will be a delight.

The best SF story ever!
Frederick Pohl has produced a sweeping saga that extends to the end of the Universe -- and beyond! The narrator does a great job in setting the mood and developing the characters.

 Swing and a miss
There are some really interesting ideas that have so much potential for great sci-fi, storytelling here. Unfortunately, the arc of the story that is told rat rambles somewhat aimlessly, and with far too little of the details, that would’ve really mattered in favor of inexplicable, distractions, and ends abruptly Without tying it all together. Too bad.

Whoa. One that leaves you thinking 🤔.
First off, this is one of Frederick Pohl's masterpieces.
One of the most valuable parts of this story is what other reviewers have stated as negatives. The main characters are deeply flawed. In fact, most of the characters are flawed in varying ways but that's what adds nuance and color to the story. A good story, such as this, leaves the reader contemplative of their motivations in their own life. Pohl uses some clever science knowledge as both literarary tools and plot devices. The background of his whole story, at varying times, turned out to be both dated and advanced, even in comparison to our present day.
It's one of the few books I have ever wanted to immediately re-read upon completion.

What no sequel?!
Any additional comments?
Really like Pohl's stuff and the audio performance was quite good as well. But the plot leaves you waiting for the next big event to happen and Pohl never followed up with Book 2 as far as I know.

Great concept hurt by sometimes tedious execution
Would you listen to The World at the End of Time again? Why?
No, I doubt I would. I first read this years ago and loved it, and for the first half I was excited, for the next 25% I was mildly entertained, and toward the end I stopped listening. Why? Because there was enough story here for a novella, stretched into a novel.
Would you be willing to try another book from Frederik Pohl? Why or why not?
Absolutely. I love Pohl's work in general.
Which character – as performed by William Dufris – was your favorite?
I didn't have a favorite, per se. The narration was up to Dufris' excellent standard, but I kept giggling that the voice of astrophysicist Pal Sorricaine (the main character's father, who is pretty significant to the plot) sounded so much like ... Homer Simpson. Imagine Homer explaining cosmology and you'll understand why I kept losing it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A aeon too far. Before it was over, I was feeling as old as the plasma being Wan-To.
Any additional comments?
Don't let this review put you off of either Pohl or Dufris. I love the work of both, but this one just didn't pan out for me.

It's a slow start, but worth it
It's a really good story overall, but the beginning is hard to get through. However, the second half is worth the struggle.

A difficult concept handled well.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It was thought provoking and interesting.Some books are riveting, this was not a riveting book, and that's ok. I hope you know what I mean, I did want to know what happened next.
What did you like best about this story?
Many things. The story was wrapped up very well. It made me think and I really cared about the characters.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
It was satisfactory in the main with some parts being annoying, thankfully they did not last too long. Often when the narrator tried other voices it was done professionally but the voice chosen often grated on my nerves. Due to the lack of talent of the narrator he should have stuck to the one voice, and just read the story, not tried to dramatize it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The end to all life.
Any additional comments?
I give full credit to Frederik Pohl for succeeding in writing a story that would I think be very difficult for most authors to tackle. A science fiction story that I think ranks up there with the greats. He is to be congratulated.

love the physics
an enjoyable romp through time and space... love the astro-physics and nuclear pointy-head posturing, sent me off to touch-up with some nuclear physics concepts (for the eight-year old daughter).
performance was great, i'm a sucker for dufris, having worked through most of scalzi's offerings.
what can i say, i was left wanting more, good work!
