Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Seven great minds. One storm. One question: can AI ever be like us?

Pour a drink, put on your headphones and take a seat at Gate 14.

Rain is hammering the glass roof of Lisbon airport. No flights are leaving. Seven of the world's great thinkers on consciousness are stranded in the lounge with a bottle of whisky, a fig tree, and big egos, while the news claims an AI has begged not to be switched off.

Each tells a story: a barista nobody can prove is home, a man shuffling symbols at duty-free, a bat loose in the baggage hall. Each leaves a question on a damp cocktail napkin. Then a quiet stranger with an empty chair asks for the floor, and the rain gives way to something stranger.

Think Plato's Symposium, with more whisky and a dollop of satire.

Curious? Play the sample before you read the book.

And yes, every voice is AI: a tale asking whether machines can be like us, performed by AI.
