About this listen

In the near future, lab-grown sex dolls are the pleasure toy of choice in this disturbing and provocative short story from Lauren Beukes, the bestselling author of The Shining Girls.

Actor and sex worker Nats is experienced at putting on a show. However, her new gig supplying intimate whispers for growgirls takes her to a place darker and lonelier than she could have ever imagined. The lab-grown dolls can respond to pleasure or pain; their synthetic heads contain only the simplest AI to prevent any pesky robo sex doll uprisings. But just because growgirls don’t have a brain, doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice...

Ungirls is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

An Experience not an Audiobook!

Wow. Wow. Wow. This story hit me like a freight train. It was raw, it was so reflective of the AFAB experience and in fact the wider fears of using the internet as a young adult as well as underpinning the dangers of a strict capitalist society. Like the title says Un-girls was a poignantly stark experience more than it was an audio-book and no doubt I'll be re-listening just to get the chance at further analysis!

Way too short

Loved this alt reality and all the different forms (letters, conversations etc) it took. Would love to dive deeper into the world and see how it effected different people. Lots to think about!

Meh

Wasn’t keen on this. The idea of the story is quite good (I won’t elaborate - no spoilers) but it read a bit like a slightly “naughty” high school effort. If you have ever read - even out of curiosity - any fan fiction and cringed, this gave me a similar feeling

Great story. Worryingly believable

A great piece of writing and a worryingly believable story. It feels like its only a few steps off where we are now
