Book description
When I first opened the cover of Venus Plus X as an audiobook, I could almost taste the future in my mouth-sweet, metallic, like the first bite of a space-faring apple. The voice that carries Sturgeon's words is warm, a gentle hum that rolls over the edges of my ears, drawing me straight into the strange world of Ledom.
Charlie Johns is whisked from the ordinary streets of Manhattan-61 North 34th Street-to a place where violence feels like a myth whispered in old, cracked radio waves. I hear his footsteps echo on polished, almost liquid concrete, the kind that feels like a silent promise of safety. In Ledom, hunger and pollution are relics, folded neatly into the corners of history like forgotten postcards. The air itself seems to hum with the sound of advanced technology, a background score that never tires.
What stirs me most is the way Sturgeon paints gender as a fading echo. Here, the human preoccupation with sex dissolves like mist in sunlight. In this new society, the clash between male and female is a distant memory, a footnote in a textbook. As I listen, I can almost see the people walking past-faces unmarked by traditional gender roles, their movements fluid, almost choreographed, as if they were dancers in a silent ballet. Their interactions feel like the delicate brushstrokes of a master painter, each gesture speaking volumes without a word.
Charlie's journey is not just a physical traversal but a sensory awakening. He tastes the unfamiliar, hears the unfamiliar, feels the familiar world slipping away. The Ledom's insistence on his approval feels like a gentle hand on his shoulder, a quiet invitation to taste the world anew. The narrative is woven with Sturgeon's lyrical grace, turning complex ideas into simple, resonant images that linger long after the last word fades.
The audiobook voice brings the characters to life, turning each line into a living, breathing scene. I could almost feel the cool, smooth surfaces of Ledom's architecture under my fingertips, feel the rhythm of a society that no longer measures itself by the binary. It's a dreamscape that feels both terrifying and beautiful-an invitation to question what we hold dear and what we let slip into oblivion.
In short, Venus Plus X is a sonic voyage that lingers in the mind like a melody that keeps humming. Theodore Sturgeon's genius shines as he offers a speculative mirror to our world, reflecting a future where gender is past and humanity's true selves are free. This audiobook is an experience-one that I felt compelled to share with anyone who loves stories that make you think, feel, and see the world in a new light.
