About this listen

In 2048, Sam Bixler is a brilliant scientist working for Telos, the world's most powerful corporation. Little does she know that a shocking secret about a deadly virus lurks within Telos, setting her on a thrilling and dangerous journey.

Telos’s famed Project Alethea initiative treated countless Cato virus patients, including Sam's mother, Joan. Sam must question everything after evidence emerges that Telos may have lied about her mother's death, leaving room for the possibility that Joan might still be alive. Determined to unravel the truth, Sam returns to her hometown in the Hudson Valley, only to discover that her father, Clint, is missing. In her quest for answers, she crosses paths with the Resistance movement, her father's allies in the fight against Telos, as they risk everything to expose the dark side of Project Alethea.

Now, Sam faces a pivotal choice: Spy within her own company and infiltrate the Project Alethea Team for the Resistance or keep her comfortable life within Telos’s ecosystem.

Brace yourself for an immersive adventure, set in a chilling, futuristic New York City. Will the quest for truth be worth Sam risking her own life and the lives of her loved ones?

Alethea is written by Katrina Day and Philomena Polefrone and directed, edited, and scored by Mark Henry Phillips (Serial, Homecoming).

The overall impression this story leaves is quite favourable. The sound production and audio is very good and easy to follow.
The story itself is not too complex and often predictable. The progression many a times makes use of convenient tropes to further the narrative. It is not possible for the listener to identify with any of the characters since most are not too fleshed out and are props to drive the story in the desired direction.
Even the major characters seem to be going through the motions and jumping from one situation to the next with little to no developmental arc.
Despite these issues, the overall quality, short duration and ease of listening make this a decent background listen. This is ideal for when you are driving, doing chores, etc as one can easily follow the story without needing to focus solely on the audio.
