Dem Hörer geht es in dieser akustischen Neufassung wie der Hauptfigur: Gepackt vom Sog der Lesung Dirk Bachs geht es über sparsam, aber effektvoll eingesetzte Musik zu Zwergpiraten, Klabautergeistern und Gimpeln.

A book about nothing… and everything. A human wakes up in an alien body. A budgie thinks life is a musical. An AI will not stop talking. An android wants to feel things. And no one knows what they’re doing. They’re not a crew. There’s no plan. And no one’s really in charge.
