About this audiobook
A chilling walk into the future we’re already building…
The Pedestrian V2.0 and Other Stories for the AI Age reimagines Ray Bradbury’s warning about technology through a strikingly modern lens. In this collection of speculative tales set in 2125, everyday people navigate a world reshaped by artificial intelligence—where convenience blurs into control, identity becomes non-negotiable, and human intuition fights to stay alive in the noise of algorithmic certainty.
Each story acts as a cautionary flicker in the dark, questioning what we stand to lose when machines learn not only to think, but to decide. Thought-provoking, unsettling, and sharply relevant, this short story collection asks us to consider what it is to be human, and what we surrender when machines begin to shape our future.
