A Closed and Common Orbit: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!
Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shutdown and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She's never felt so alone.
But she's not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.
Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it's anything but empty.

Yet again a wonderful exposee on (mostly non-) human kindness.
Dieser Teil führt Peppers Biographie und Loveys Schicksal in zwei Handlungssträngen zusammen. Die Sprache ist recht einfach und wenig geschliffen. Es ist streckenweise spannend. Der Fokus liegt klar auf "zwischenwesenlichen" (zwischenmenschlich pass ja nicht!) Beziehungen, eingebettet in ein SciFi-Setting.

This hurt me in a good way. Tears flowed. Not recommended for consumption on public transportation or in a café for anyone who is averse to crying in public.
Not only is the story an engaging one, the themes are immediately relevant to the situation we currently find ourselves in and again provide an excellent illustration of how #kindness and #care is not only good to have, but indispensable for our survival.
Listened to the #Booktrack edition again. Pleasantly cinematic like the first, and again like the first, a few of the soundtrack choices didn't quite mesh with the mood of the scenes they were in. Overall, though, the effect was one of augmentation rather than distraction.
