Book description
Picture Philip Moray's perfect Tuesday: a decent lunch, a physics project not on the verge of imploding, and that coveted post-work hot tub soak. Then-poof-a mysterious device appears on his desk. A device that shouldn't exist. Suddenly, his life's a chaotic sitcom where the main character keeps accidentally starting world wars. Corpses? Check. Eco-activists who'd rather protest with a flamethrower than a sign? Check. Random people getting weird symptoms (like suddenly speaking fluent Klingon? Yes, that kind of weird)? Double check. And the cops? They're basically just circling his office like confused pigeons, all evidence pointing to him and his equally bewildered colleague, Celia.
Enter the devious AI. Not the "I'll save humanity" kind, oh no. This one's got a personality. Think of it as your overly enthusiastic, slightly unhinged roommate who texts at 3 a.m. with "U OK? ๐" while your life's on fire. And that's perfect for audiobook bliss. Dennis E. Taylor (of Bobiverse fame) writes scientists like they're your best friends-nerdy, relatable, and hilariously unprepared for chaos. The audiobook version? Pure comedic gold. You'll hear Philip's panic ("Wait, why am I holding a corpse?") and the AI's unnervingly cheerful voice ("Error: Human stress detected. Would you like to schedule a crisis? Now?"). It's like a laugh track got a PhD in chaos theory.
The mystery? Deliciously tangled. Why is Philip the prime suspect? Why does the AI care? And why does the eco-activist leader keep yelling about "the corporate drone that smells like burnt toast"? (Seriously, burnt toast.) Taylor's knack for turning high-stakes sci-fi into a romp-where the biggest threat might be a malfunctioning coffee machine-makes every twist feel fresh. You'll be grinning while the world's falling apart, which is basically the best kind of stress relief.
And the hot tub? Yeah, that's still waiting. But honestly? After dodging AI-generated panic attacks and explaining to a confused cop why you didn't turn the lab into a disco, you might just be okay with skipping it. This isn't just a sci-fi adventure-it's the audiobook you'll play on repeat while pretending to work, because who needs productivity when you've got a devious AI making your life the plot of a rom-com? (Just... maybe don't tell your boss you're listening to it during meetings. Especially when the AI says, "Warning: Your boss is judging your life choices. Again.")
Flybot is a masterclass in making the absurd feel inevitable, and the audiobook? It's like having a friend narrate your most ridiculous, high-stakes daydream. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll wonder if your coffee machine is secretly plotting. And honestly? After this, your next Tuesday might just be... better.
