Fun short story about a mate by the name of Arthur who is basically a brain in a jar. The hero of the story, Sam, wants to look after Arthur, but the other friend, Vern, decides to sell him to a despot in post-apocalyptic New York so he can run the power station and other stuff there. Arthur is not happy about this, so his friends, including the chump who sold him, decide they should perhaps do something about it. Fun ride, excellent reader, enjoy!
Odd story

An odd story. I couldn't figure out the plot for the longest time. But it is a good story, and the reader was great.
a pacey, Curious story.

themes of friendship, equality and purpose. sometimes funny, with a touch of spy-novel drama. a great read.

Enjoyable little book. Well read!
Terrible
Bill Cosby
This cool story lacks 2SLGBT!TIA+- BIPOC representation. Just because whimsical and well narrated story is thoroughly enjoyable does not absolve it if the cardinal sin of not encouraging gay sec. The author is literally an Aldolf Hitler. Don't be like Hitler. Only listen to stories curated by Jeffrey Bozos, which include lotsa gay sec.
Good
