![And yet, here we are. The most hilarious story I've listened to this year, and I'm over 160 titles so far. If you've been born in the last 80 years, you'll pickup at least some of the 728* pop culture, science, and literary references dropped into this non-stop mind-twisting alternate universe adventure. With every sentence overflowing with wit and disbelievability but set in a whacked out place where anything can and will happen, our main character, John Doe, must navigate his first day on the job at a secret agency where co-workers and supervisors seem mostly unfazed by the existence of lizard people and alternate realities. The hijinks span every conceivable sci-fi and fantasy reference while the conspiracy theories start proving themselves true. John Doe is extremely relatable, creative, damaged by trauma, and determined to finish what he starts. Christopher Harbour brings him and the rest of the cast to life with wildly varied and interesting voices, and enough tension to cut with a katana. A joyous and wacky good time. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.] *There are probably more, I lost count.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7qjxptiewoq254nblzc4yplw/bafkreifl5lyit4ufzfozat7eweorutu7fxv3joaayb4tmckgvsysvrk4ai)
