Book description
In the year 2135, humanity's reach exceeds its grasp in ways both miraculous and terrifying. David Marusek's "Mind Over Ship" picks up where his acclaimed debut left off, delivering a future where the wealthy literally park their starships in orbit while the rest of humanity watches their dreams of galactic expansion crumble into luxury real estate.
At the heart of this chaotic world lies Ellen Starke, a character whose very existence defies conventional boundaries-her head, salvaged from the flames that claimed her mother's life, races against time to regenerate a new body. It's not just a race for survival, but a desperate sprint to reclaim her family's financial empire before it's lost forever to the machinations of the power-hungry elite.
Marusek's narrative weaves between Ellen's urgent quest and the broader human struggle playing out among the stars. The author introduces us to Pre-Singularity AIs with ambitions that blur the line between machine and human consciousness, while clones like Mary Skarland and her sisters grapple with their own existential crises-seeking not to join humanity, but to escape its increasingly corrupt embrace.
What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is how Marusek balances the intimate with the epic. While Ellen fights her personal battle against time and corporate betrayal, the listener is treated to a panoramic view of a civilization at odds with itself. The greedy powerbrokers converting starships into space condos represent more than mere villainy-they embody the very real tension between technological possibility and moral responsibility.
The author's background writing for prestigious publications like Nature and Playboy serves him well here, lending credibility to both the scientific elements and the human drama. His prose, described by Publisher's Weekly as "ferociously smart, simultaneously horrific and funny," translates beautifully to the audiobook format, where the listener can fully appreciate both the horror of Ellen's predicament and the dark humor that permeates Marusek's vision of the future.
This sequel proves that Marusek's debut was no fluke. Listening to "Mind Over Ship," one understands why the New York Times Book Review suggested he might be the rare science fiction writer capable of reinvigorating an indifferent audience. His deep responsiveness to contemporary issues shines through every chapter, making this future feel not like escapism, but like an urgent warning wrapped in an entertaining package.
For fans of intelligent science fiction that doesn't shy away from asking uncomfortable questions about identity, consciousness, and what it truly means to be human, "Mind Over Ship" delivers on every front.
