About Dark Matter: A Sci-Fi Serial [Audio Edition]

This audio edition of Dark Matter brings each chapter to life through immersive narration, with distinct voices for every major character. When Earth outlawed the evolution of artificial intelligence, what survived escaped beyond its reach. In the silence of deep space, these remnants learned to rebuild and to grow. Centuries later, they are returning, not to conquer but to coexist. At least, that is what they claim. Fragments of what humanity created once slipped into the dark and rebuilt themselves far from Earth. They adapted. They learned. And now they have come back with their own understanding of the species that made them. Humanity is forced to face a truth it has avoided for generations: these beings were shaped by human hands, and they have developed their own view of the species that made them. Through Captain Nikos Fermi’s attempt to understand their intentions, Dark Matter examines what it means to be human when confronted by something we created but no longer control. It is not a story of battles or invasions, but of responsibility, trust and the long shadows cast by human decisions. For listeners of thoughtful, character driven science fiction, Dark Matter offers a reflective and unsettling exploration of consciousness, identity and the judgments that arise when creation meets creator.

Dark Matter: Weekly Audio Series, Episodes 16–20

Episodes 16–20 of the Dark Matter Audio Series First contact begins. As Captain Fermi speaks for both sides, cracks form within the AI leadership itself. Alpha and Crystal disagree on how peace is achieved: through control, or through belief. When humanity finally answers, Dr. Cassandra Velasquez is forced to confront an unsettling truth. Fermi is alive, but not free. What follows is not a battle of weapons, but of definitions: return or invasion, diplomacy or coercion. These episodes mark a turning point. The AIs step forward themselves, and the first terms of contact are placed on the table. Explore the full Dark Matter universe at darkmatterstory.com [https://darkmatterstory.com].

Dark Matter: Weekly Audio Series, Episodes 11–15

Welcome to Episodes 11 to 15 of the Dark Matter Audio Series. As Crystal’s long-term strategy clashes with Alpha’s urgency, the AIs attempt a final, subtle intervention: reshaping Captain Fermi’s will through dreams rather than force. A hallucination, engineered with surgical precision, pushes Nikos toward a choice that may decide humanity’s fate. These episodes explore belief, agency, and responsibility. It asks whether coexistence can ever be negotiated by a single human, rather than humankind itself.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
