Acerca de esta escucha
Necessity: the sequel to the acclaimed The Just City and The Philosopher Kings, Jo Walton's tales of gods, humans, and what they have to learn from one another.
More than 65 years ago, Pallas Athena founded the Just City on an island in the Eastern Mediterranean, placing it centuries before the Trojan War, populating it with teachers and children from throughout human history and committing it to building a society based on the principles of Plato's Republic. Among the city's children was Pytheas, secretly the god Apollo in human form.
Sixty years ago the Just City schismed into five cities, each devoted to a different version of the original vision. Forty years ago the five cities managed to bring their squabbles to a close. But in consequence of their struggle, their existence finally came to the attention of Zeus, who can't allow them to remain in deep antiquity, changing the course of human history. Convinced by Apollo to spare the cities, Zeus instead moved everything on the island to the planet Plato, circling its own distant sun.
Now, more than a generation has passed. The cities are flourishing on Plato and even trading with multiple alien species. Then, on the same day, two things happen. Pytheas dies as a human, returning immediately as Apollo in his full glory. And there's suddenly a human ship in orbit around Plato - a ship from Earth.

She remembers marrying Mark and having four children. And she remembers not marrying Mark and raising three children with Bee instead.

Historia
When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his father’s Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. He lost his place as a retainer of his cousin the former Empress, and made far too many enemies among the many factions vying for power in the new Court. The favor of the Emperor is a dangerous coin.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

But he soon finds that without meaning to, he complicates and then endangers the lives of everyone he comes to know and care about. For when it comes to magic, there are rules and laws, and the untrained mage-to-be must be careful not to tap into deep forces and ancient enmities. Otherwise, other people might end up paying the price for his mistakes.

Historia
The planet of Windhaven was not originally a home to humans, but it became one following the crash of a colony starship. It is a world of small islands, harsh weather, and monster-infested seas. Communication among the scattered settlements was virtually impossible until the discovery that, thanks to light gravity and a dense atmosphere, humans were able to fly with the aid of metal wings made of bits of the cannibalized spaceship.

When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K.

Revised Plato
I was hesitant about the first book and had it on my wishlist for months. I really enjoy ancient Greece and Greek mythology. From the moment I started listening to the first book I knew I was going to really enjoy this story. The imagination and idea of going through time and humans working towards being excellent and true to ones self. Philosophy is the path to excellence.

Lost opportunity to explore new cultures?
I was very excited to start book 3 as our favorite characters living out the Republic were now on an a brand new planet surrounded by alien cultures. This created so many opportunities to discover how these new civilizations would react to human beings and how the Greek gods were represented in their cultures. Unfortunately, very little of the book is dedicated to this topic and even less to the modern day humans making contact. Book 3 feels about half as full of an overall story as books 1-2. The time taken to delve into the sentience of the workers and their pursuit of excellence brings my review from 3 to 4 stars as this is very well done.

it's a "woke" story
book one was great, two started taking liberties with a main storyline had a weaker message, and three- was absolutely off the map. I couldn't buy the illogical statements about gender ( in ancient times?? really??), the giving of freedom to all robots(like anyone would take a lunatic extremist culty civ on the edge of existence serious), alien gods Egyptian gods Greek gods mixing (without knowledge of each other?).. the characters became illogical and npc'ish, it was unfortunate to see Socrates fall into that category as well, as he was my second favorite character of all the books. if I misinterpreted parts of this book in my review, I apologize, but I'd stand by my stars given.
