The Knights of Arthur by Frederik Pohl ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Knights of Arthur by Frederik Pohl audiobook.

Genre: scifi

After the Third World War, New York City is a hollowed-out ruin of scavengers, broken factions, and improvised rules. Into this wreckage come three unlikely partners: Sam Dunlap and Vern Engdahl, sailors trying to stay alive one day at a time, and Arthur - a compact machine intelligence with a brain built for command, logistics, and survival. Arthur is valuable in a way food and bullets cannot match: he can organize people, run systems, and make plans that might actually work. That makes him a prize. When a determined young woman appears with an offer to buy Arthur outright, Sam and Vern realize just how many desperate survivors want Arthur for their own purposes, and how few of them will respect his freedom - or their lives. Forced into flight through a city that has forgotten law, the trio must decide what they owe one another, what kind of community is worth rebuilding, and whether a mind inside a machine can choose its own destiny. Fast, sharp, and wry, Frederik Pohl blends post-apocalyptic tension with big questions about personhood, loyalty, and power.
