About this listen

Start from behind? Cheat the system!

Out of credits, with trash-tier mods and no hope, Bowdoin Katamari resides at the bottom of the pile in the city of Artem. A place where megacorporations, merc guilds, and inner-city pricks live like royalty while the rest suffer.

In spite of his poor prospects, this self-taught hacker does have a few things left. A seething hatred for the upper castes, a mind bursting with plots, and a like-minded crew determined to get ahead.

Down with the corpos—let the towers burn!

Solid Story

As far as Cyberpunk and Science Fantasy goes, this book fits neatly into the genre. The author makes a point to emphasize certain statistics of the main characters which are arbitrary, never come up, and ultimately make no difference and the act structure is a bit odd.

That said, the characters are all fantastic and I found this an enjoyable listen. The world building is solid and I found myself easily sucked in.


The performance is top tier. I have usually enjoy Podium productions but some of their productions come out better than others. This is one of the truly good ones. Great Work.

A great story from a hacker’s perspective

I enjoyed the team aspect and the way the world was approached. Artem is a wonderful and brutal city. The narration is also top notch.

a different fun chapter to the Artemis universe

Lars has clearly shown his strength in balancing out an awesome cast of characters. this story was fun, engaging and full of adventure. A different view point to the Artem universe and is certainly worth checking out.

Not Terrible.

I’ll admit I found myself zoning out a few times. The story is good, but it’s really hard to understand where it’s going. There was basically three story arcs in one book, but nothing major happens regarding the overall story of “Street Gang versus the Corporations” plot as advertised. I’m interested enough to see where the author will take this; however, only enough to dip one toe in. We’ll see when Part II comes out. Pavi and Rebecca did great as always.
