Acerca de esta escucha
The world is falling apart in 2055. Floods have devastated London on the eve of the First Space War. With the city locked down, 16-year-old Mathew Erlang is confined to his house with only his cat, his robot and his holographic dragons for company.
Desperate for a distraction from the chaos around him, Mathew becomes fascinated by his peculiar and reclusive neighbour, August Lestrange. Mathew begins to investigate Mr. Lestrange, turning to the virtual world of the Nexus and Blackweb for answers. But as he digs deeper, Mathew realises that Mr. Lestrange doesn't seem quite human.
When Mathew accidentally finds himself trapped in Lestrange's house, he opens a door and falls 400 years into the future. Unwittingly, he starts to destabilise the course of human history.
The Boy Who Fell from the Sky delves into a future where climate change and technology have transformed the world. It is the first book in The House Next Door trilogy, a young adult dystopian science fiction action adventure.

In the darkness of a vast cave system, cut off from the world for millennia, blind creatures hunt by sound. Then there is light, there are voices, and they feed. Swarming from their prison, they multiply and thrive. To scream, even to whisper, is to summon death. Deaf for many years, Ally knows how to live in silence. Now, it is her family's only chance of survival. They must leave their home, shun others, and find a remote haven where they can sit out the plague. But will it ever end? And what kind of world will be left?

In the post-apocalyptic, neo-medieval city of Ark, speech is constrained to 500 sanctioned words. If somewhere were to speak outside that approved lexicon, they'd face banishment. The only exceptions to this rule are the Wordsmith and his apprentice, Letta. Together, they are the keepers and archivists of all language. But when Letta's master dies, she is suddenly promoted to Wordsmith and finds the situation more complicated than she knew.

Intriguing YA science fiction
Owen's vision of the future in The Boy Who Fell From the Sky is dominated by global warming, cool tech, and all the fascist fun that cool tech can yield (the government is tracking your bio-ID now, y'all). Some sections are not too subtle with the exposition, but the world is still remarkably detailed and complex.
Matthew Erlang takes us through this new world with a flair for engineering, a dash of social awkwardness, and a growing crush on a classical pianist. Every so often I feel the urge to yell at him like I would at an actor in a horror movie, but I can't help but enjoy Owen's characterization.
The audiobook transported me into this strange new world as completely as any good holo-film. I have a special soft spot for the glorious voices of the Russian characters and of course for O'Malley the cat.
I'm highly anticipating diving in to the sequels next!

no ending and no vol 2
I did not enjoy the narrator but to not even end? where is the next book? There's no wrap up of anything, not even a bad ending, more like the author just stopped writing.
