Sentiment, Inc. by Poul William Anderson ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Sentiment, Inc. by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When young engineer Colin Fraser falls hard for Judy Harkness, a rising actress with big-city ambition, their long-distance courtship feels like the start of a steady, ordinary future. Then, without warning, Judy announces a whirlwind engagement to Matthew Snyder, a wealthy older man she barely tolerated, and her personality seems subtly, frighteningly off. Colin cannot accept that love can flip so cleanly, so he follows the trail to a sleek, secretive outfit with an innocuous name: Sentiment, Inc. There he encounters Dr. Robert Kennedy, a brilliant researcher whose work suggests that emotions are not as untouchable as people like to believe. If feelings are built from networks of associations, what happens when those associations can be rearranged on command? As Colin digs deeper, his personal heartbreak turns into a confrontation with a technology that could redefine consent, loyalty, and even identity. Part psychological puzzle, part classic science-fiction thriller, Sentiment, Inc. asks how much of the heart is truly ours - and what a society might become if desire itself could be engineered.
