About this audiobook
Book 4 — The Naked Universe 2087
It is 2087. The cities are made of glass, machines can answer almost anything, and humanity is still standing in the kitchen wondering why it came in.
In a future full of artificial intelligence, perfect convenience and deeply imperfect people, Richard Davies returns to the biggest question of all: what actually matters when everything else has become cleverer than you? Luckily, there is still a red rubber duck, which appears to understand more than most governments.
The Naked Universe 2087 is a warm, witty and cosmic look at the future — where technology has changed everything except our glorious ability to make a mess of being alive.
The future is still a beautiful mess.
