About this listen

Just over five centuries have passed since humanity’s extinction. The earth has retaken her home, leaving only memories of humanity behind. In this introspective journey, a machine with consciousness wonders about his existence and why he was left unscathed, doomed to contemplate the meaning of his life all alone.

Though he understands his thoughts are nothing but code, he toils with the feelings meant only for the humans who created him. And with their departure, he finds himself afflicted with loneliness, desperately trying to find someone with whom he could converse about the purpose of creation itself. Though with time comes death, even to the inanimate. In knowing this, he seeks to find something or someone worth living for.

An absolutely wonderful story voiced by the author himself. One of my favorite themes in the postapoc genre. I just loved it!

Wonderful!
