What would it be like, to get absolute power? Would you wear a cape and fight crime? Rule the planet? Or perhaps you would be like Rob Lewis, and watch your world collapse around you. Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Rob is going to find out.

I was expecting a story of slow corruption, followed by a monumental battle for the climax. The cover art even implies in, in my interpretation. Instead there is a touch of corruption, a ho-hum battle scene, and a final conflict that is rather flat.
There is plenty of intelligent commentary and vocabulary, both of which I appreciate. Clough certainly put effort into developing the scientific elements of the story, including utilizing the scientific method to address Rob’s discovery of his power. It is just that the adrenaline moments are wanting.
Bronson Pinchot is an excellent narrator. He definitely brings the story to life. There are a few spots where his pacing is too fast or the word emphasis is questionable. These are more a matter of preference, but they are what keep him out of the discussion with greats like R.C. Bray and Ray Porter. He is a tier or two below them, which still encompasses great narrators.
Not Bad, But Disappointing

I was pulled in almost from the start and honestly the book did drag on a little through the halfway mark but finally picked up near the end. I had envisioned a completely different resolution, if you will, but the story came together rather well at the end. It was decent entertainment.
Interesting. An entertaining premise.

Fascinating

About halfway through the author realizes she really has no plot and so kind of pastes one on and gives the MC a quest of sorts. The quest reminds me of an HP Lovecraftian short story but not as interesting. After this short quest is complete the MC is to return home and then the only possibly interesting question of how this MC reunites with a family he basically abandoned for a year is never answered. the book ends with an ellipses.
I'm giving it 3 stars because I did end up listening to the entire thing and was mildly entertained by the thought experiment itself. Very disappointed in the ending.
thought experiment with lazy ending
