    Light, Laugh, and Human Folly

    Written by Alexander Belyaev

    Narrated by Jim Spring

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Light, Laugh, and Human Folly is a collection of novellas centered around anti-heroes living in a society that makes a straight road to success impossible. Alexander Belyaev's reality-set stories with a touch of science fiction are chillingly close to home. They present the reader with scenarios that are very plausible and easy to imagine witnessing in today's world. Instead of introducing a traditional hero, who comes and saves the world, Belyaev centers his narrative around individuals who are not only far from heroic but are decidedly unlikable at times.

     

    This collection includes the following works:

    • Invisible Light
    • Mister Laugh
    • Doomsday
