About this listen
Every home could use an extra helping hand....
Meet Pamela 2.0, the latest and greatest incarnation of a gadget like no other.
Increased intelligence! Greater dexterity! Faster responsiveness!
The lucky tech reviewer who receives the first prototype quickly learns that Pamela 2.0 represents a quantum leap in consumer robotics, capable of meeting a modern homeowner's every need.
Eager to please by following any order that doesn't involve physical contact with a human, there's almost nothing Pamela can't do - she takes out the trash, she washes the dishes, she feeds the dog.
But sometimes, just sometimes, she thinks for herself.
Today, Pamela arrived with one objective: to secure a positive review from her influential host. And one way or another, she'll stop at nothing to get it....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Every night for the past four months, I've dreamed of being chosen for the trip to Calbora. The others have grown comfortable in the safety of the station's bunks, praying their names won't be called. Not me. Every day since we got here, I've looked up and wondered. Not anymore. No one can know the real reason it matters so much, but one way or another...I'm getting on that ship.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 23
This novella will take the listener to a dystopian future - a world of adults where birthmothers are a privileged class and every child is a celebrity. Death has been conquered, but overcrowding has led to a government-enforced zero population growth. When Janice learns she is pregnant without authorization, she must find a life donor or forfeit her own. For every child born, someone must die. The math is simple, but the politics are complicated. Janice soon finds herself diving into a deep conspiracy.

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

Harmony House is more than a “special place for special people.” It’s a think tank where high-functioning autistic savants harness their unique abilities for the benefit of society. Resident Eddie Parks’s contribution: an “echo box” that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother’s voice. But what he’s created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House’s shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset - an end to the very concept of secrecy.

Get the first three books in the Kid Sensation series. Like millions of other kids, Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero.

But when his tryout with the Alpha League - the world's premiere group of supers - goes disastrously wrong, Jim basically becomes an outcast.

Be careful what you wish for...
This story was what I regard as classic SciFi. You remember, the one with the lesson behind it? It is appropriately creepy and will have you second guessing items in your home. You will really enjoy it. Too short for a credit, but buy it. It is definitely worth the cost.

Nailed it again
Another short glimpse at a fun technological invention. My favorite thing about these is that it seems totally normal but you just know there's going to be some kind of horrifying twist in them. This one did not disappoint!
