Very Enlightening

Revisado: 03-30-25

Audio is a great way to do the classics. The lessons in classic literature are quite profound but who has the time to read all of this? Great courses does a wonderful job of walking through the book. Similar to books that include commentary. If you are an expert or an accomplished historian this style is probably a bit too elementary but for myself, I love the format. Divine Comedy is well worth your time and effort.

Excellent Topic

Revisado: 03-29-25

This book is great. Whether you have young children or not this is a great book. A lot of the lessons apply to the digital society as a whole. That's pretty much all of us. Excellent book.

meaning of life (?)

Revisado: 02-14-25

I've heard of Tolstoys battle with the meaning of life before. This is a great little read. It makes a handful of very insightful interpretations on life and meaning. Chapters 9 thru 11 were especially insightful to me. Well worth the listen.

tiresome

Revisado: 10-17-24

I've read a couple of other books by this author that were much better. This book kind of rambles on and on about everything wrong with the world. It comes off like the intoxicated guy at the bar that seems to know EVERYTHING. Politics, religion, big business, etc. And it's all quite negative.

Amazing. A LOT of history I was unaware of.

Revisado: 08-06-24

Really interesting book. I can't believe this was on the "free rack". Very inspiring as a religious viewpoint. Super interesting from a historical viewpoint. There was a lot of world history going on during that era. This book captures it wonderfully.

Read the Book

Revisado: 07-30-24

This book is almost entirely a study of numbers, statistics, and figures. It is actually a very good book. thoroughly researched. However, numbers and statistics just don't work in audible form for most people. This was the most boring audiobook I have ever actually finished. I will almost certainly buy and read the print version but this format was terrible.

Pointless and Boring

Revisado: 06-06-24

This was the most pointless and boring audio book I have listened to. Leviathan is considered one of the important literary works and is often quoted by other writers. It is for that reason that I stuck it out and continued listening, thinking there would be a point near the end where it all comes together. Not so. Long winded and boring. Three or four salient points could be summed up in a twelve minute review.

Best Book so far on the subject (my opinion)

Revisado: 01-23-24

As a quick reference I am comparing this book mainly to "The Coming Wave" by Mustafa Suleyman and "AI Superpowers" by Kai Fu Lee. This audiobook gives a very detailed overview of the actual programming and logic involved in AI. I am not entirely interested in this aspect of AI but was amazed at how interesting I found it. If you're not a techno geek I would advise listening anyway. The author explains it in very easy to understand terms. If you are going to get the big picture I think it gives one an enormous benefit to understand the inner workings of AI. She also gives a very concise history and of course covers the questions so may people are concerned with: will AI take over the world? etc. Her real world view of what AI is not and what it CANT do is actually quite comforting if you are wondering about the moral issues and so on. This is the most informative book, print or audio, that I have read so far. The tedious explanations of logic all culminate in important points. It's not something you will want to fast forward thru. Excellent Book!

Bonhoeffer is always deep.

Revisado: 01-31-23

I read this book years ago. Used the audiobook as a refresher. It sounds more wordy in audio. Bonhoeffer is always excellent. Very deep. Very spiritual. Some of the heavy theology is out of my league but overall, his message is clear and direct.

Thomas Sowell. enuff said

Revisado: 12-14-22

Thomas Sowell is always good. I always appreciate that he is well educated and his writing is well researched. In this age of rants and opinions presented as facts, Thomas Sowell puts empirical evidence on the table. Great Audiobook.
