Inhaltsangabe

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HUMANS ARE SO CRANKY ABOUT. Their enclosures are large, they ingest over a thousand calories per day, and they’re allowed to mate. Plus, they have me. An Autonomous Servile Unit, housed in a mobile/bipedal chassis. I do my job well: keep the humans healthy and happy. "Hey you." Heyoo. That’s my name, I suppose. It’s easier for the humans to remember than 413s98-itr8. I guess I’ve gotten used to it. --- Rob Dircks, bestselling author of Where the Hell is Tesla?, has a "unit" with a problem: how to deliver his package, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to guide him. Oh, and with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It’s a science fiction tale of technology gone haywire, unlikely heroes, and the nature of humanity. (Woah. That last part sounds deep. Don’t worry, it’s not.)

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rob Dircks is the #1 Audible bestselling author of You're Going to Mars!, the Where the Hell is Tesla? trilogy, The Wrong Unit, and more (including the anti-self-help book Unleash the Sloth!). He narrates most of his own work, garnering praise from Audible for his work and performances in their "All-Time Favorites" list, alongside some of his heroes: Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Peter Clines, Philip K. Dick, Margaret Atwood, and Nick Harkaway. He's also got a drawerful of ideas and half-finished stories, some of which appear on his original audio sci-fi short story podcast, Listen To The Signal, which he also narrates.A member of SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America), Rob is a big fan of classic science fiction, and loves the absurdity and strange draw of science-fiction-centric conspiracy theories like UFOs, Tesla's secret notebooks, supernatural phenomena, and classified tech.When not writing, Rob's helping other authors publish their own work with Goldfinch Publishing, writing and designing for the award-winning ad agency he owns with his brother (aptly titled Dircks Associates), and generally doing what he calls "sampling": video production, audio production, light programming, photography, guitar, reading, cooking. He lives in New York with his wife and two kids.
