About this listen

"The Silicon Joust: Knights of the Data Table" is a whimsical parody of the classic King Arthur and the Knights tale. Instead of King Arthur and the Knights, we have the valiant AIs assuming the role of knights. This silly medieval romance unfolds with AI characters as the main protagonists. Since the story is so short, this is all you are going to find here.

Whenever you find yourself in need of a brief respite from the mundane, tired, or simply craving a bit of amusement, this delightful book is the perfect choice. It will transport you to a world of wonder and leave you refreshed, ready to tackle your tasks with renewed vigor in about half an hour.

This is interesting, and quite different than what I was expecting (something akin to Knights of the Round Table). The digital, electronic and AI mix to terms and the personification of them all was a little too much for me, but fun nonetheless. (Princess Algorina, her challenge from her father, the various the holographic images in data chambers, and then throwing love into it all). What was to become of AI Inifinity Matrix ? Thanks for introducing me to a whole other realm of fiction!

This book was well narrated and funny! The parody was short, but entertaining. If you’re looking for a futuristic revamp of an old classic, look no further.

Super interesting idea for a fiction book. I must admit I'm not much of a fiction reader but I was thoroughly entertained by this short story. I love the imagination of the author and how the book connects modern society with an old story of King Arthur. Easy to listen to in one sitting. Narrator has a nice voice as well.

What a fun book!

This was a very fun, interesting, and entertaining story to listen to! On the writing side, I especially enjoyed the detailed character descriptions, which really helped the characters come to life in my mind as I was listening. I thought that the narrator did an excellent job of capturing the excitement and action of the joust. I enjoyed all the twists and turns in the story, as well as the final takeaway / moral of the story (which was quite wholesome). As a software developer and tech enthusiast, I found the humor and premise to be particularly fun and entertaining.

Very Interesting and Entertaining!
