Resumen del Editor
A life for a life. No one need die until someone new is born. Then you've no choice.
This novella will take the listener to a dystopian future - a world of adults where birthmothers are a privileged class and every child is a celebrity. Death has been conquered, but overcrowding has led to a government-enforced zero population growth. When Janice learns she is pregnant without authorization, she must find a life donor or forfeit her own. For every child born, someone must die. The math is simple, but the politics are complicated. Janice soon finds herself diving into a deep conspiracy.
For those who love The Handmaid's Tale, this is another take on what the future may hold.

For generations, girls known as Spinsters have been called by Arras' Manipulation Services to work the looms and control what people eat, where they live, how many children they have, and even when they die. Gifted with the unusual ability to weave time with matter, 16-year-old Adelice Lewys is exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. But Adelice isn’t interested.

The Unincorporated Man is a provocative social/political/economic novel that takes place in the future, after civilization has fallen into complete economic collapse. This reborn civilization is one in which every individual is incorporated at birth and spends many years trying to attain control over his or her own life by getting a majority of his or her own shares. Life extension has made life very long indeed.

Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people - somebody has to convince them to move on to the afterlife, after all. Having never failed a single assignment, he's acquired a reputation for success that's as legendary as it is unwanted. It turns out that serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie's pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Or he had, anyway, until he saved Alice Spiegel.

Very bleak but interesting look at the future!!!
The Cost of Living tells a very tragic tale of a future gone wrong. Janice is an intricate character. She has the will to continue living in this oblique world but is also willing to give it up so her child can live. When the possibility of having both arises, she will do whatever it takes to make it happen. This was a very gripping story. It will pull you in and keep you guessing. Very well painted picture of the world she lives in.
I really enjoyed the narration.

More please!!
I knew this was a novella but I wasn't prepared for loving it so much that I didn't want it to end. The world development was incredible! Dystopian worlds when well-done are a special treat. This was sorbet in the heart of the Sahara desert.
That ending absolutely blew me away!!! It ended too soon. I wanted more.

Interesting dystopian
Janice finds herself pregnant in a world where one must die whenever there is new life in order to keep the population controlled. In a world where nothing is what it seems including the politics that created the law to control the human population Janice must find a way to not be the one to lose her life for her child.

Janice's Run
This story takes place in a dystopian future where population control is enforced by an elite group of people. Not a very uncommon plot line for dystopian stories. Within this future there are different classes of people who have different levels of freedom from the next class. Life is good for those who have a priority code A pass. Sometimes people may be willing to trade their life for another’s if they are able to live the good life of a priority code A recipient for a few months.
The story is told over a six-month period and moves along quite fast. The plot feels familiar and borrows from a few different ones to form a nice well-rounded story. I think the length was perfect, even though, this world could have easily been expanded upon for a full novel. The two main characters were quite interesting and well rounded. They kept you on your toes wondering what was going to happen next, especially since they were polar opposites. The ending really comes out strong. Definitely worth a listen.
Wlazlo has a nice voice and did a good job telling this story. Her cadence and pacing are spot on and I enjoyed her character voices. She really brought the story to life.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

A Fascinating Twist on the Future
When in this futuristic overcrowded world, Janice discovers she's pregnant without government authorization, she's in big trouble. The rule is a life for a life and the life to be forfeited will be hers if she can't find a substitute donor. Enjoyed the narrator and the story.

The Cost of Living
Fantastic!
I was mesmerized by this dystopian future where over population is controlled by exchanging a life for every new life. The twist at the end was awesome!
I was very impressed with this story by Maria L. Anderson, and I looks forward to seeing more from her.
This was the first narration by Brenda Scott Wlazlo that I’ve listened to, and it won’t be the last.

Entertaining Sci-Fi Short
I really enjoyed the dystopian future setting and background for this novella. The take is one I found very absorbing and thoroughly enjoyed the world building and set up. The narration by Brenda Scott Wlazlo was very good and I look forward to hearing more from her. Her pacing and voices were very good to me, but there was a little bit of background noise for me. Short and entertaining with good narration throughout.
