The narration by Michael York is really good, but the story itself is unenjoyable.

futuristic dystopia with some very interesting philosophical conversations 
dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Me ha aburrido hasta dejarme dormida. Me lo empecé pensando que me iba a gustar como 1984 pero al contrario, se me ha hecho pesadisimo y lo he tenido que dejar porque me estaba haciendo entrar en bloqueo de lector. Se me ha hecho muy denso lo que he leído, y mira que es corto pero no me compensaba acabarlo. Lo he dejado al 36%

Much better, and funnier, than I expected. I was surprised at how good the start was, and the splicing of scenes in the third chapter was great. The conversation between John and the Controller at the end is excellent. But my favourite part was the character Bernard. How pathetic, self-important, cringy but lovable he is.
