About this listen
“In the beginning, God was said to have created everything in fairly short order. Some say seven days. Others say three. The truth is that god created nothing. God flipped a switch. The machines have been building ever since.”
In the crowded techno-religious city of Aberthene, almost everyone is augmented by biomedical modification. Part machine, and part human. The church rules the state and controls everything from production to housing.
Addeleigh Simmons works in a religious building cleaning out suicide booths during the day while attending classes and studying at night. She hopes to soon afford the costly surgeries for the biomedical modifications that all of her friends have. She's singled out as only human: A no-mod.
Her drab existence is upended suddenly when an armed group of Red Guards breaks into her dormitory. She escapes through a third floor window with her pet mute-cat, Bruce, and begins a journey that will expand her entire world.
She doesn’t know why she is being chased.
She doesn’t know who to trust.
But no one outruns the church.
Addie is being hunted.
Addie is hiding from God.

This is a refreshingly different, albeit unpleasant, world with fast paced action. Written to provide striking pictures in the mind of the reader, we follow Addie on her journey of discovery together with friends, and others, she meets on the way. The protagonists grow from paper and ink characters into real people as the story progresses.
No Mod is narrated by Eleanor Cauldil; her voice is very easy on the ear and she reads with close attention to the text, emotion seeping through the well paced and cadenced delivery. The different characters are also given defined voices: a good performance overall as she effortlessly carries the reader forward.
My thanks to the rights holder of No Mod, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. The first in a series, I will be looking out for follow up stories: well written, frash, intriguinng, this is a futuristic science fiction world not to be missed.
