Book description
Hey everyone, just finished listening to Alex + Ada Vol. 1 and wow, what a ride! This isn't your typical robot-love story - it's way more nuanced than that.
The audiobook really captures how Alex reluctantly gets pulled into this whole android ownership thing. You can practically hear the internal conflict in his voice when he's dealing with Ada. And speaking of Ada, she's not just some programmed companion. There's genuine complexity to her character that unfolds beautifully throughout these first five issues.
What impressed me most was how the story tackles those messy questions about consciousness and connection without hitting you over the head with philosophy. The pacing keeps you engaged while still letting these bigger themes breathe.
Jonathan Luna's background in sequential art really shows in how visual the storytelling feels, even in audio format. You get this vivid sense of the near-future setting and the emotional weight of every interaction between human and android.
The voice acting brings out layers I might have missed just reading the dialogue. There's this subtle tension throughout that really comes alive when you can hear the characters' voices conveying doubt, curiosity, and growing attachment.
Definitely worth your time if you're into thoughtful sci-fi that doesn't sacrifice character development for cool tech concepts.
