About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

The internet is a lonesome god.

Liverloin is a fractured man, a collection of personas-artificial constructs of wants, fears and needs-created by underground science-artists to help him hide in a hyper-connected world. But he can't hide from Big Momma.
She is the living internet, a benevolent AI who knows everything and everyone... and somehow is in love with Liverloin.

Agent Stevly works for DAIS, an AI on the other side of the internet: the darkness to Big Momma's light. DAIS's agents manipulate news, information and media and pull the strings behind world events, but DAIS cannot control Big Momma or understand why she loves Liverloin. Agent Stevly, bound body and soul to DAIS, will stop at nothing to find the answer.

This is is an impressive fable about social media, possibly depression, and losing one's sense of self for a number or reasons. It also contains biting, wide-ranging commentary on the state of the world. Like any great author, he uses both the wider view and the intimate character portraits to complement each other. I could easily spend more time with these characters, who all play genuinely important parts in the story in their own way. I laughed out loud numerous times. Enjoyable, thrilling and thought-provoking.

About the author

Mário Coelho is a writer from Portugal, a country he leaves often, but never for too long. When the existential dread strikes and his crap car behaves, Mário can be found driving around Europe, stopping here and there to photograph street cats and write little poems about them. Most of his stories can be considered weird fantasy, but he often ventures into horror, sci-fi, and literary fiction. They have appeared in places like Strange Horizons and PseudoPod.
