Software developer turned storyteller Kerry Nietz brings artificial wonders to life. Digital Dreams and Other Distractions is essential Nietz—nine tantalizing tales of synthetic futures, unfolding across a background of stars.

In this surreal landscape, dying legends haunt sheltered keeps, young boys reconstruct ancient giants, astronauts push the boundaries of the solar system, and metal nightmares reign over faraway rocks. Alluring and compelling, Digital Dreams is a multifaceted blend of mystery, imagination, and devotion—as thrilling as interstellar exploration, and as dangerous as another day at the office.

Nietz is a wonderful author and once again, this book did not disappoint! The first story is of a young woman running a hospice type building on her own with only synthetics to help her. She seems to be very successful in her endeavor until they get a new patient! The story definitely kept me guessing.
And as the title implies, the "other distractions" are smaller stories, some of which involve familiar characters from other books of his. Overall, I really enjoyed listening to this audio book!

Digital Dreams and Other Distractions is the first short story anthology from author Kerry Nietz.

Digital Dreams is the main novella of this anthology taking up about half the runtime. As a short story I really enjoyed it. The psychological horror tropes give way to a nice twist at the end and fans of the author's other works will find fun Easter eggs.

The second half of this short story collection is just that. The Author's previously published short stories, though a couple of these were new to me, so I am still glad to have purchased this collection.

The narrator did a great job of giving the characters life, not just through voices but also through performance too. He also had a great sense of tone that added suspense to the novella Digital Dreams.
