Not quite as good as his other books

Revisado: 05-17-24

This is the third book from Andy Weir I listened to, the first one was The Martian and the second was Hail Mary and I really loved those books. This one is good, but it is lacking something but I can’t put my finger on it. I think it is the not “so hard” problems that needed to be solved, the pacing of the story. I am not sure. I mean it is not a bad book, but the author had put a very high standard with the first two books I listened to.

Another masterpiece from Andy Weir

Revisado: 05-15-24

This is the second book I listened to from Andy Wier, the first one was The Martian.

I really enjoy the story telling style and how the author creates believable stories and characters and how the monologue moves the story forward. I can relate to the main character and how things play out. This audio book also has a lot of good sound engineering so it is a better book than the printed version (I think, but I haven’t read the book only listen to it).

If you enjoyed The Martian this is more like it.

Good case for business intelligence

Revisado: 03-11-15

I have almost zero knowledge of baseball, but it was a nice listen to a good case for using business intelligence to optimize the performance and exploiting inefficient markets. I was recommended this book for that reason and I am not disappointed.

Another epic story

Revisado: 11-20-12

Daniel Saurez does it again. After reading (well, listening) to Daemon and FreedomTM I was excited to see what else Daniel could come up with, and let me tell you - I was not a bit disappointed.

The story begins in what is reality today, and take it from there. The future described in the book is not (unfortunately) far-fetched, just a natural evolution of current technology. The characters was brought to life and it was like you learned to know them a bit at the end of the story.

Daniel has a nag for bringing a semi-happy situation to a complete disaster in a few line of pose, keeping you on the edge of your seat (I usually listen while working or commuting). I can't recommend this book high enough, and if you liked Daemon and FreedomTM I am certain that you will love this one.

Increase the listening speed for a better experien

Revisado: 11-08-11

I noticed that if you increased the listening speed to 1 and 1/2 times the normal speed the narrator is actually not sounding too bad.

6 hours and 22 minutes of ranting

Revisado: 03-13-11

I forced myself to listen through the 6 hours and 22 minutes of ranting about how how much better things were before, and how we as a society are dependent on big corporations to select what kind of media we want to consume. I do agree that we still need media outlets that offers a broad view of current issues, both domestic and international, but I don't agree that the world will end just because the old media outlets are inable to adapt to the new economy.
