Listeners is the best kind of pastiche. It takes a number of familiar elements--a young man stumbling on a mysterious young woman, a post-apocalyptic setting, and the sense of being shaken out of a sense of complacency--and mashes them up in such a way that, even though you know you’ve seen and heard it all before, feels fresh and energetic.
