About this listen
All androids are not alike. Especially if they're teenagers...
By the 2070s, most humans have interacted with androids in either a servile or sexual relationship. Dr. Bryan Galloway wants to tip the scales. So, he’s engineered two sisters who not only share a synthetic form of DNA, but a sentience and individualism no android has enjoyed before.
Like human teens, the android sisters develop not only by nature but by nurture. Nyx, the red-eyed robot, finds life to be a journey you experience a step at a time. For Dayna, the violet-orbed android, life is a game to be won through emulation and manipulation. But Nyx’s journey is a whole lot less passive than she imagined, especially when she suffers bouts of what humans call PTSD.
As Nyx becomes convinced her programming is unable to separate past from present and reality from virtual experience, she begins to doubt her creator Bryan Galloway and his sudden disappearance from her life now that she faces school, boys, and the pressure of planning a future in a still dominated human population.
Is Nyx defective or, maybe, is this what it's really like to grow up as a human female? Perhaps, there is a third alternative she and her sister know nothing about...

Simplistic, doesn't require much in way of deep thought to decipher some hidden meaning or subtext. Reminds me of watching 90210 or Dawsons Creek, a simple mellow drama with intrigue with every character being overly dramatic.
If this was a real TV show, this pilot episode would have drawn a loyal fan base that would reverbate for years after the final season. But this is only the first episode, so plenty more books to delve deeper into the lives of the titular Android Sisters.

I liked this a lot. The premise is really cool and I was rooting for Nyx. I wish it were longer, more days just watching the sisters navigate the world would have been great.
the audio narration was really great, I fell into the story very quickly.
I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. there's no reason why the rich bitch needed to inhabit a sentient android, she could have easily occupied an empty shell. It also seemed to end too quickly.
very enjoyable

The narration is decent but let down by poor audio quality, I would say it's been over-processed to the point of being audibly distracting.
Overall not bad and I imagine it'll resonate well with the target audience.
