Popular Reviews of The Fourth Ambit

A slow build-up of intense mystery drama in an impressively full world, exploring fascinating technological philosophy that would sit well with any Asimov fan. The protagonist is a character you enjoy following and his methods for solving problems would be appreciated by anyone who enjoys Andy Weir's books. Unfortunately the ending felt anti-climactic, more like a Kafka novel, which for me is just a little unsatisfying.

Inventive scifi drama.

The official RSS from Dawson Nichol's webpage is now https://www.ambitgroup.com/podcast/This is one of the best pieces of science fiction I've encountered, much less in the tiny niche that is free audio dramas. It has really thoughtful world building, the observations about our internet lives has aged well, the solutions that the protagonist comes up with for his problems are methodical and intelligent, and the ending is really thoughtful and humane about trying to limit collateral damage. This is a towering achievement for any audio drama and as if that's not impressive enough, Dawson Nichols voiced every character, including backgrounds and crowds. Hail to the king.

Really cool, well thought out story. The author builds a world based around uploading your mind to spaces online and includes tons of details. Very well constructed, great story.
