Halfway Audible Audiobook – Original recording

See all formats and editions

Idris Elba and Sabrina Elba present sci-fi mystery thriller Halfway, an Audible Original.

Starring Patricia Allison as Florence, Lenny Henry as Cole, Arinzé Kene as Mark, and George Mackay as Oliver.

Leading the field of artificial intelligence, Halfway, a subsidiary of Soul-Tech, provides customers with the opportunity to digitally upload their minds so that in the eventuality of their death, loved ones will be able to communicate with an AI simulation and gain closure. But at what cost?

A year after her brother Mark’s death, Florence is still consumed by grief. And though her parents encourage her not to dwell on the past, Florence decides to visit Halfway and speak to the simulation of Mark that was created not long before his passing. But instead of putting her mind at ease, speaking with the replica of her brother only unleashes destabilising questions and opens old wounds. Why are Mark’s uploaded memories different from Florence’s? Why are the circumstances surrounding Mark’s death becoming less clear? And what does Halfway have to hide?

Also starring Chizzy Akudolu as Delores, Jeremy Ang Jones as James, Jude Akuwudike as Omar, Sharon D Clarke as Afua, Aurora Dawson-Hunte as Shanice, Kevin N Golding as Jackson, Penny Layden as Anne, Hattie Morahan as Karen, Nneka Okoye as Megan and Grace Saif as Amissha.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2024
Too many people hate AI so I had to see what the hype was all about. I gain insight as to where people see this heading. It was a little too close to reality as another reviewer suggested. I listened to this while Door Dashing one afternoon. I can't say that I caught EVERY detail but I was sold from the start. I found it gripping and increasingly infuriating and frustrating. So much so that you want to helpfully intervene and interject advice as the whole story spirals out of control.

This is one of those stories that make you wish you could take the author out for tea and have a REAL conversation.
