When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm. His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

It was ok

I felt like I finished listening only because I started. It didn't finish with me wanting to listen to the next book in the series.
Maybe this is a better fit for a younger listener

Good semi-hard scifi AI story

This book was a ton of fun. Wish more of the AI perspective were covered but loved it.

Money grab, rushed and disappointing
Revisado: 11-26-22
This felt like a money grab, written with no care, no passion and no care for previous readers. Either tried to hard to appeal to younger audience and/or marketing got hold of the books direction.

One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" is Feynman's last literary legacy, prepared with his friend and fellow drummer, Ralph Leighton.

You don't have to enjoy Physics to enjoy Feynman
Revisado: 11-13-17
As a reader
I don't have much in the way of a Physics background other than just an interest.
Impact
Feynman's stories, analogies, life experience and way of delivering lectures is something magical. I don't think you have to love science to become enamored with Dr Feynman. I can only assume that Feynman was an amazing teacher and father. After listening to a few of these books I found myself wanting to distill his way of communicating, teaching and being a friend into my daily life with hopes of ever becoming a shadow of the man he was.

Revisado: 11-13-17
This was blast to listen to and I look forward to more by Rob Reid. The all star narrators did not distract and once I got immersed into the story I forgot they were there.
Why I Purchased:
Got sold on "Silicon Valley", Felicia Day & John Hodgman as narrators, Artificial Intelligence and the author's previous book being compared to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
What I liked about the book:
Realistic-ish predictions of future tech
Artificial Intelligence
Quantum Computing
Pop-culture references
Comedy
Warning:
Some of the topics and language are not family friendly. Could not listen to this while cooking dinner :(

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

With his characteristic eyebrow-raising behavior, Richard P. Feynman once provoked the wife of a Princeton dean to remark, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" But the many scientific and personal achievements of this Nobel Prize-winning physicist are no laughing matter. Here, woven with his scintillating views on modern science, Feynman relates the defining moments of his accomplished life.

This was a fun book to listen. I imagine Feynman was very likable and had an infectious personality. Great to have perspectives on both sides of the lab vs the life.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.
