Inspiring but demanding!

Revisado: 04-07-17

This is a thrilling book, written by someone who has clearly a great mind. His representation of Popper's thought is strongly inspiring.
Many parts are quite hard to grasp - one has to struggle to get through!
I would listen to it again few years down the road for sure!

Excellent sci-fi story with a very nice reading!

Revisado: 11-06-16

The story is very attractive, with a refreshing Chinese approach to traditional sci-fi topics. The writing is good and one can feel close to the various characters. It's a surprisingly contemporary tale about science and humanity! Very well read by Rodgers!

Too dense and complex

Revisado: 08-24-16

It has been very hard to listen to this (long) book until the end. It requires a quite advanced understanding of philosophy already (which I was not familiar with, unfortunately).
Additionally, the collection of these religious experiences was boring to listen to at time (too often it was the same experience again and again).
The book might be interesting for scholars, but it is definitely too high level for the average reader I think I am!

A perfect book, a great performance

Revisado: 06-13-16

Where does The Better Angels of Our Nature rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This one was the best. The quality of the content, touching to a wide range of sociological, scientifical, historical and political topics is matched by the performance of Arthur Morey.

What did you like best about this story?

It changes the way we can look at human history and human interaction, and it does that through a very serious, scientifical process. The approach is very rigourous, healthly skeptical in its essence. Easy explainations or shortcuts are avoided, which makes this book extremely convinving and relevant. It really helps to understand the work we are living in.

What about Arthur Morey’s performance did you like?

Clear diction, nice tempo, easy to understand and to me was somekind in line's with the author mindset.

Any additional comments?

I will certainly read it again next year. It was fantastic! I recommended it to all my friends!

Repetitive book as it's about one single concept

Revisado: 06-13-16

What did you like best about Rational Ritual? What did you like least?

The concept of Rational Ritual is a very interesting one and actually helps understand certain situation - this book is useful in the sense that it makes the reader aware about the phenomenon.
The problem with this book is that it is very very repetitive and the same content/sentence are coming back all the time.

What do you think your next listen will be?

The next on Zuckerberg's list :-)

Was Rational Ritual worth the listening time?

It's a bit long for the content - it could have been way richer for the same time, adding insight from other sociological studies for instance.

Entertaining sci-fi story and world!

This story is set in an intriguing and fascinating world (Culture). It gives exciting perspectives on our own society!
The narrator did a great job, making all the characters vivid through convincing and diverse voices.
