À propos de cet audio

Lost in space.

Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood this was just allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. Indeed, how could the Ship move, since its miles and miles of metal corridors were all there was of creation? Science knew that the Ship was all the universe, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lights would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator's Plan would be fulfilled.

Of course, there were the muties, grotesquely deformed parodies of humans, who lurked in the upper reaches of the Ship, where gravity was weaker. Were they evil incarnate, or merely a divine check on the population, keeping humanity from expanding past the capacity of the Ship to support?

Then Hugh was captured by the muties and met their leader (or leaders) - Joe-Jim, with two heads on one body - and learned the true nature of the Ship and its mission between the stars. But could he make his people believe him before it was too late? Could he make them believe that he must be allowed to fly the Ship?

I found it difficult to follow actually. although it was a good story, I read it once when I was younger.

I listen to books when I sleep so I'm not sure how this one sort of ended.

Typical Heinlein story. Very masculine and interesting.
Would make a great streaming TV show, with some script work around the concept.

Typical Heinlein

Interesting idea for a story though the end felt like Heinlein got bored and just sort of went: "Blah blah blah, they made it, the end." it was ok up until that point but definitely not his best work.
Also contains extremely sexist portrayals of women as dim witted, panicky simpletons, good for nothing more than breeding stock. Took a lot away from the story and made it a lot less enjoyable.

Interesting concept
