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.

Caring for a loved one who is gradually losing their mental and physical abilities over time is one of the most challenging tasks. However, by adopting a family-centered approach, we can overcome caregiver burnout and find solace in supporting one another. In many traditional cultures, the elderly receive care from the wider community and the entire family unit. They are respected for their wisdom and knowledge and as a valuable link to the past and family history. Unfortunately, in our modern-day Western culture, we are conditioned to be self-reliant, independent, and often isolated.

Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Interesting twist on a classic
This was an interesting twist on the classic King Arthur. The story was entertaining and the narrator kept me engaged. I don't normally listen to books like this but I listened while I worked and found it interesting and entertaining.

Short but Engaging Tech Adventure ⚔️💻
This audiobook is a fun and unique take on the world of technology, blending a medieval theme with modern data concepts. The storytelling is clever, and Terry Silverthorne’s narration adds the right amount of energy to keep things engaging. While it’s a quick listen, it offers some entertaining insights for tech enthusiasts. Would love a longer version with deeper exploration!

Creative!
"The Silicon Joust" is a charming and innovative re-imagining of the classic tale of King Arthur and his knights. I always loved the King Arthur tales, and I found this re-imagining was truly creative and innovative. The blend of technology and chivalry in this short story creates for an interesting listen! I highly recommend.

Interesting
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!

A Modern Twist on Camelot
The Silicon Joust offers a lighthearted and quirky twist on the classic Arthurian legends. Here, AI characters gallantly fill the roles of knights, delivering a unique blend of medieval romance and technological parody. Although its brevity leaves you wanting more depth and development in the AI-knight realm, its whimsical nature makes it a perfect pick-me-up. Ideal for a quick escape, this audiobook transforms a short break into fun escape. The narrator deserves applause for adding an extra layer of charm and wit to this AI-infused Camelot tale!

An entertaining marriage of old and new
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.

What a fun book!
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.

Very Interesting and Entertaining!
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.
