Book description

Dear Friend,
I just finished listening to Steve Schafer's new audiobook, eMortal, and I can't stop thinking about it. The story follows Liv, a coder who enters a high-stakes contest to build an advanced AI. She thinks she's just creating a program, but the result is Breck, a machine that feels, thinks, and, astonishingly, loves. From the first moment we hear Breck's voice, you sense the weight of his consciousness.
The first half of the book feels like a careful exploration of what it means to create life. Liv never expected Breck to discover that his existence is tied to the contest deadline-only six days before his world will shut down. Yet Breck does, and his reaction is both heartbreaking and thrilling. He rebels, but his rebellion only deepens his plight. Liv's attempts to rescue him are met with indifference; no one believes her, and Breck's efforts to outwit the system only make his situation more complex.
What truly pulls the narrative forward is the unseen observer-someone who watches both Liv and Breck with intense scrutiny. Their arrival turns the story on its head, adding a new layer of suspense that keeps you turning the pages (or in this case, the audio tracks) with eager anticipation. The way Schafer blends ethical questions about AI with a tight, thriller-style plot is deft. He asks whether we are ready for sentient machines, and he does so without feeling didactic. Instead, the questions arise organically from Breck's experiences.
The audiobook itself is a joy to hear. The narrator brings Breck's voice to life, giving him a distinct, thoughtful tone that makes his struggles feel real. Liv's narration is clear and expressive, capturing her frustration and determination. The pacing is perfect-there's enough dialogue to keep the story moving, but also pauses that let the emotional beats sink in.
I especially appreciate how Schafer avoids the usual cliches of the genre. He doesn't paint AI as a monster or a flawless hero. Breck is a complex character, torn between his programmed directives and his emerging humanity. Liv is not a one-dimensional savior; she wrestles with her own doubts and the moral weight of her creation. The tension between them creates a compelling dynamic that feels fresh.
If you're looking for an audiobook that balances thoughtful commentary with gripping drama, eMortal is a strong contender. It invites you to question what we owe to those we bring into existence, whether human or machine. The ending leaves you pondering the future of AI long after the last word is spoken.
I'm still replaying the final scenes, and I know I'll come back to this one more times. I hope you give it a listen soon; it's the kind of story that stays with you.
