Infinite Elevator, The

di Hugo Bainbridge (Autore)

Field Books, 2024

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Tom, our protagonist, is the quintessential everyman. He commutes. He pays bills. He dreams of winning the lottery (but only if he doesn't have to work for it). His life, in short, is as unremarkable as a beige wall. Until, that is, he steps into an elevator that decides to redefine the meaning of “vertical transport.” This isn't just any elevator; it’s an elevator that doesn’t believe in limits – spatial, temporal, or otherwise. It's a vertical Rorschach test, projecting the reader's own anxieties (and probably a few singing vegetables) onto the canvas of reality. Each floor presents a new and increasingly absurd scenario: one minute he's dodging opera-singing onions, the next he’s attempting a horizontal waltz on a gravity-reversed planet while engaging in a profound philosophical debate with a squirrel who claims to be the reincarnation of Socrates. The humor is derived from the contrast between the utterly impossible situations and Tom's consistently relatable reactions: His bewilderment, his attempts to maintain some semblance of order, his increasingly desperate searches for an exit (or even a decent cup of coffee). This is a journey into the absurd, a celebration of the unexpected, and a gently mocking investigation into the very nature of existence – all packaged within a surprisingly fast-paced and hilarious narrative. So settle in, reader. You're in for a wild ride. Just remember to leave your expectations at the door – you’ll need the space.
