Short and boring
What did you like best about A Hunger for the Infinite? What did you like least?
Either I didn't understand this book or it was just too boring. Didn't really grab me like I hoped or waited for it to do. By the time I started getting interested in it, it was over. Sad but short.
What could Gregory Benford have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Added some additional adventure and storyline
What three words best describe Robin Sachs’s voice?
Dry, dull, unemotional.
Did A Hunger for the Infinite inspire you to do anything?
Stop listening

Good idea turns into a Machine Crusade re-run
What disappointed you about A Hunger for the Infinite?
It started out promising but when it turned into a machine seeking to find out what humanity is about, and using art etc, I was reminded, and not in a good way, of the Dune Prequel Machine Crusade and the associated premises. Some great descriptions and ideas about harvesting energy and evolution in machine based societies. Mr Benford would have served the reader better by making his story more about these.
Would you recommend A Hunger for the Infinite to your friends? Why or why not?
No. The story was too preachy and predictably about a machine using people to try and discover what makes them human.
What aspect of Robin Sachs’s performance would you have changed?
it was ok. Could have used a little more tonal variation and emphasis.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes, see above - the galactic core and energy harvesting ideas.

Hard to follow
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
There is so much going on, that unless you are familiar with the characters or story, it is hard to follow.

No Emotional Response
I enjoy good SciFi stories. This had the potential to be better then it was. I have not read/listened to any other works by Gregory Benford, so maybe I am missing part of the point to this story. I thought that some of the creatures that he created were clever and the idea that some of them lived in various orbits around a blackhole mirrors the structure of an atom, which seems novel.
What bothered me through out the story is that our protagonist does not seem to have an emotional response to anything happening around him. Perhaps it was due to poor narration, because even in the scenes where the protagonist seems to be acting on an emotion he still seems emotionless.

Different but interesting
Interesting and held my attention. It is quite different from Heinlein and classical science fiction. This was my first encounter with the writer or story and took awhile to understand. I will try other works.

didn't like it at all but
It's also not my usual fair so I'll allow that maybe it's too far out of my zone to be liked. I don't usually read Sci-fi and this reminds me why. It can be too cold. I d/l because it was free and I do like to try authors I don't know. This didn't work for me.
That said, I loved the narrator. I could listen to that voice all day long. :)

Torture
The narrator was fantastic and eased the hell of listening to this. I like sci-fi but this short story was confusing, and it seemed the author was trying to impress me with his fine ability to make up quasi-scientific sounding words that often appeared to have little if any meaning.
In short, not my cup of tea.

How and why and when?
This work amplifies those and other questions that are central to the human condition. Don't you agree?
