Simon Rowell, a worker in the computer industry for more than thirty years, half at the European Space Agency and half in Silicon Valley, has completed his new audiobook "Future Perfect: Benjamin Privett Will Have Found His Purpose": an introspective and captivating story about a man selected for a lifechanging journey.
Beginning his book, author Simon Rowell writes, "More recently than anyone wanted to admit, the Earth used to be a blue-and-green marble set in a starry sky. Then, with plenty of disregarded warning, it transformed like a swan in reverse into a rather grubby brown blob (set in a starry sky)."
Published by Audiobook Network, author Simon Rowell's new audiobook is a thought-provoking look about the Earth in 2061. Benjamin Privett wins a minor prize in the international lottery in 2061. From the hundreds of people around the world that won the same prize, the lottery selects a small group to receive the ultimate award—a ticket on the first commercial spaceliner to Mars. Unbeknownst to all the selected passengers, this is really a selection process to find people who are representative of the general world population to be ambassadors for an advanced civilization that wants to help mankind.
While ultimately a science-fiction novel exploring the future of humanity, this story presents a realistic portrayal of life in 2061 and an examination of human nature, its limitations, and why humans might not be compatible with other civilizations that live in this galaxy and beyond.

Audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook.
