The Execution Channel (Audiobook)Author: Ken MacLeod
Penguin Audio
read by Steven Crossley
It's after 9/11. After the bombing. After the Iraq war. After 7/7. After the Iran war. After the nukes. After the flu. After the Straits. After Rosyth. In a world just down the road from our own, on-line bloggers vie with old-line political operatives and new-style police to determine just where reality lies.
The themes this author tackles go right to the heart of identity and destiny. "We choose the lies in which we participate and in choosing, define ourselves and our actions for a very long time," he writes at one point. In other passage, we are first introduced to Steven with these words: {Steven would be} "introduced in the most indelible fashion to his destiny, the spiritual map that guides each person finally to the door of the cage that contains his soul, and in his hand a key that will turn the lock, or the wrong key, or no key at all."
