Publisher's summary
Henry and Nomi are thrilled to find out they’re going to be parents. There is so much to think about, so many decisions they’ll need to make, about feeding schedules and childcare and schools. But there’s one decision they never would have imagined facing, and even considering the choice is a minefield of emotions and experiences and expectations.
After all, the only thing that hangs in the balance is the course of their child’s life.
Would You Like to Choose the Race? is written by Arvind Ethan David and stars Christine Elmore as Nomi Cook and Adam Campbell as Henry Cook.
Earworms is a series of short speculative-fiction dramas–tales of what might have been...or might yet be...or perhaps in fact are, if only you were paying attention...if only you were listening.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

So why is he alone, and where have all the people gone? He stumbles upon a lost, cheeky kitten and selects it as his best friend for the adventure of a lifetime, trying to make sense of all this existence stuff. Just as Arto begins to fear he's the only sentient thing left on the whole planet, a cantankerous robot falls from the sky. She says she's his sister.

To this day, the LAPD, Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, mainstream media, and much of the world at large remain firmly convinced that O. J. Simpson literally got away with murder. According to private investigator William Dear, it is precisely this assuredness that has led both the police and public to overlook a far more likely suspect. Dear now compiles more than 16 years of investigation by his team of forensic experts and presents evidence that O. J. was not the killer.

Thought provoking with many strengths and a few weaknesses.
Deconstruction of the notion of race was mostly well done except for outdated terminology like slaves and slave owners. Also Biracial kids who have parents who make racial jokes like the dad does about Native Americans sometimes struggle and feel like they’re a joke so maybe don’t gloss over the impact of Henry doing that in the beginning. . Other than that, well done.

This is the future . . .
I’m always pleased when speculative fiction does what it is supposed to do which is not only to make one think about the future we’re heading toward, but to also examine where we are.
In that regard this story is extremely timely. This is a conversation many potential partners need to discuss even without the science fictions elements. I respect a creator espousing a view or preference even if it’s one I disagree with; writing is still art after all, so I have no problems with things a character might say and do as some people might. I can’t control what people say and think in the real world, what makes one think they should have a say about it in fiction? My only problem with the story, is that it becomes less a story in the third act and more of a lecture. So much so that while I’m not sorry I listened to it, I most likely will only listen to it the one time.

Food for thought
I first of all love the extra sound and the performance of the voice actors I also like how it’s a real question that people really could ask today

First time parents
Real short premise of this book, which I hope becomes a classic must read in the near future, a biracial couple is given a choice of what race they want their unborn child to be and they have three days to decide or the “mold” is set to pure genetics. This book leaves out things such as cost, since the health insurance is going to cover this non-invasive nudge. Easy peasy then the majority of parents in the world with good health insurance could have some form of a white baby. How much easier could the world be to divide rather than blend.
I digress, as the insurance covering an easy non-invasive procedure really little to do with this short book, but is worth mentioning for people that like to think. Getting to the real heart of the book is whether or not the parents would choose an easier life for their unborn child. The book does briefly discuss some of the difficulties black children and people have faced over the years; however, that gives part to what a difficult decision it would be because most parents want what is best for their kids.
Wanting what is best for their kids is a first time parent dream. This dream has diminishing returns. I then found myself yelling at the characters to let it be. Let your child become the glorious person he is meant to be. I had full realization that I must be a naturalist.
After the book ended is where I decided that I hope many people will read or listen to this book. Let it become a classic. This is no offense to anyone, but in a world where 20 year olds think they need Botox to look younger, people are willing to take miracle medicines at $1K per month to lose weight, and scientist are willing to bring back extinct animals that we as a species should learn to mourn, maybe we should really put some deep thought into being pushed in certain directions or being divide by race or a social class.
Again, this is another great book by Arvin Ethan David. It is short, please read. If not, please think about how decisions are impactful and what are the purpose of those decisions. Are we as a society being lead?

As a person who listens to audiobooks to excape reality this is one of those titles that make you stop and think about our society as a whole.It is a little to deep, but you probably got that already. A modern short form American racial 1984.

What a fascinating mindset
"Would You Like to Choose the Race?" is a thought-provoking and engaging audiobook that explores the concept of race and identity in the context of a fictional society where individuals can choose their own race. Through this thought experiment, David delves into the complexities of race, power dynamics, and social hierarchy.
Here are some key points from the audiobook:
* David presents a compelling argument that race is a social construct, and that the concept of race is often used to maintain power and privilege.
* He explores the idea that if individuals could choose their own race, it could potentially disrupt the existing social hierarchy and challenge the status quo.
* David also raises important questions about the implications of such a system, including the potential for cultural appropriation and the erasure of marginalized experiences.
* Through his thought experiment, David encourages listeners to think critically about the ways in which race operates in our society and to consider the possibilities of a more fluid and inclusive understanding of identity.
Overall, I found "Would You Like to Choose the Race?" to be a thought-provoking and engaging audiobook that challenges listeners to think critically about the complexities of race and identity. David's use of a fictional society as a thought experiment allows him to explore these complex issues in a unique and compelling way.
I specifically found the part where Henry tells Nomi that it is essentially her decision about if they move forward with a decision and she replied back with No, it's not just my decision this is our baby and you are the father you have just as much right as i do we'll make this decision together.
Giving the opinion that Father's have equal rights as to the decisions of their unborn children. it's just too bad that this is a fictional society because in real life Father's are second class citizens and have no rights when it comes to their unborn children.
No one should tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do with their body but it's personal responsibility to accept the actions of your behavior and if a decision to end a life that was created is just a one sided choice that is unfair to the father and to the unborn child. Parents should have equal rights because they are both just as responsible as the other and contribute emotionally, financially, and genetically to their child's future. Hence, it is only fair that both have an equal say in decisions that significantly impact their offspring.
Just like in this audiobook they had a choice and they made it together considering each other's feelings and beliefs.
What a wonderful world that would be.
