Micro-Humanity by Daniele Lippi

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

Earth is overpopulated. Human beings are now too many. Years of technological progress across the board have decreed their almost exponential increase decade after decade. Any attempt made to curb growth has been in vain. Expansion into space has not delivered the desired results. Earth is exhausted and humanity, on the verge of a near extinction.
Thousands of hypotheses are made, thousands of solutions examined, thousands of researches are conducted and subsidized. Nothing is left out. Everything is examined. Even the most abstruse ideas and most imaginative conjectures are studied thoroughly. So, in this mess of ideas, in this swamp of thoughts, the solution arises. The solution is as simple as absurd and yet apparently possible: shrinking the whole of humanity.

This is a very emotional story about sacrifice and loyalty – about overcoming the wounds of battle and finding a life to live and a love to share it with.

Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is lucky to have come from a privileged family, and after losing both of his legs in the war, he now has the best prosthetics that money can buy. While he is trying to move forward with life, he struggles with the past and the way people react to him and his disability.

Dr. Lauren Falcone works tirelessly to help veterans deal with the trauma and pain of their deployments. Her unique virtual approach to therapy keeps her busy, and the assistance she provides to service members as they recover mentally helps her resolve her own anxieties.

When Shane meets Lauren at a fundraiser for his father’s organization, he wonders if there just might be a chance for him to get his dream off the ground and maybe find a normal life with someone who can look past his flaws and see the man he is inside.

Shane and Lauren are drawn to each other by their hope to make life easier for veterans, both physically and emotionally. Their goal is to build Shane’s dream organization, Rise Again Warrior, which will assist veterans to integrate more easily into society and have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art technology and therapy.

Now, if they can only have faith in themselves, learn to deal with their own demons, and believe in each other, they might find a way to bring this dream to fruition.

When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
No, but I could see it as a feature film.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
I learned about ACX and how easy it was to create audiobooks out of ebooks published on Amazon.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
Mike Paine, the narrator, auditioned for the book through ACX first. I did originally seek out a few narrators early on but Mike was the first to send me an audition and I really like what he did with my first audiobook, the short story “A Stormy Night”.[/gravityforms]

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
Check out ACX, they make it really easy to produce quality audiobooks.
