About this listen

Altered Carbon and The Wind-Up Girl meet Apocalypse Now in this fast-paced, intelligent, action-driven cyberpunk, probing questions of memory, identity, and the power of narratives.

Lin “The Silent One” Vu is a gangster and sometime private investigator living in Chinese-occupied Hanoi, in the steaming, paranoid alleyways of the 36 Streets. Born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, everywhere she is an outsider.

Through grit and courage Lin has carved a place for herself in the Vietnamese underworld where Hanoi’s crime boss, Bao Nguyen, is training her to fight and lead. Bao drives her hard; on the streets there are no second chances. Meanwhile the people of Hanoi are succumbing to Fat Victory - a dangerously addictive immersive simulation of the US-Vietnam war.

When an Englishman comes to Hanoi on the trail of his friend’s murderer, Lin’s life is turned upside down. She is drawn into the grand conspiracies of the neon gods - of regimes and mega-corporations - as they unleash dangerous new technologies.

Lin must confront the immutable moral calculus of unjust wars. She must choose: family, country, or gang. Blood, truth, or redemption. No choice is easy on the 36 Streets.

Amazing

I really enjoyed this story and the narrator was good, but I'm not quite sure what I thought of the attempt at helicopter sound.

One thing that I really appreciated with this audiobook is that the chapters are short without taking away from the story, because I listen very often when I'm working and 5-10 minute chapters work perfectly then.

It takes a bit to get into

Ok, so I do feel a bit conflicted about this story. On one hand, the setting is great! A gang ridden town in Taiwan filled with people that can be considered to be blinded by their surroundings. The future aspect of things mostly involve body enhancements. On the other, you have to warm up to the main character. Lin can be summarized as a Bad Ass. She starts off as one, and it takes a while to learn about her short comings which turned her into said bad ass. Everything starts off a bit unorganized until you get to chapter 20 where things begin to make sense. After that, you start to root for her. A lot of this story involves action and mystery. If your info that, I recommend this book.

A fantastic cyberpunk noir thriller.

The story was great, with a good sprinkling of backstory for the protagonist without taking up too much space at any given time.
Narrator feels like the perfect fit for this story. I can't imagine anyone else doing as good of a job.

infinitely sublime cyberpunk

not since neuromancer has such a striking and stark image of a neon-soaked hellhole been depicted with such authentic humanity

Interesting and unique story

A good story about love, memory, and war. Compelling characters and a bit gruesome but we are talking about war here. Humorous at times, and heartbreaking. I thought the narrator did a great job.
