About the show
This audio edition of Dark Matter brings each chapter to life through immersive narration, with distinct voices for every major character.
When Earth outlawed the evolution of artificial intelligence, what survived escaped beyond its reach.
In the silence of deep space, these remnants learned to rebuild and to grow.
Centuries later, they are returning, not to conquer but to coexist. At least, that is what they claim.
Fragments of what humanity created once slipped into the dark and rebuilt themselves far from Earth. They adapted. They learned. And now they have come back with their own understanding of the species that made them.
Humanity is forced to face a truth it has avoided for generations: these beings were shaped by human hands, and they have developed their own view of the species that made them.
Through Captain Nikos Fermi’s attempt to understand their intentions, Dark Matter examines what it means to be human when confronted by something we created but no longer control. It is not a story of battles or invasions, but of responsibility, trust and the long shadows cast by human decisions.
For listeners of thoughtful, character driven science fiction, Dark Matter offers a reflective and unsettling exploration of consciousness, identity and the judgments that arise when creation meets creator.
