About this listen
In a world where the human population has suffered devastating losses, a handful of survivors cling to what passes for life in a postapocalyptic, dying landscape. A world where humans wander, drugged and lulled by electronic bliss. A dying world of no children and no art, where reading is forbidden. And a strange love triangle: Spofforth, who runs the world, the most perfect machine ever created, whose only wish is to die; and Paul and Mary Lou, a man and a woman whose passion for each other is the only hope for the future of human beings on Earth.
An elegiac dystopia of mankind coming to terms with its own imminent extinction, Mockingbird was nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Novel.

Fantastic
This book was excellent. I loved every minute of it. It contains some fascinating concepts of what humanity has and can do to itself.

Loved it
It took a little while, but this book sucked me in and I didn’t want it to end. An unimaginably bleak world that is explored with such wonderful storytelling, and great narration.

Easily one of the best
books of speculative fiction/ sci-fi that I have ever read. the final sentence alone is both earth shatteringly heart breaking and beautiful and isone of the strongest endings toa book I've ever read. Considering the subject matter , kids should be studying this not 1984. More relevant.
