Historia
In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control.

Thought Provoking Content
Revisado: 11-10-24
I appreciate the case made against the over-technoligizing of human experience (and the irony of downloading and listening to the book rather than buying a hard copy and reading it). My only complaint is that I would have rather heard Christine Rosen read it, but the narrator did a good job in her own right.

Unique ending approach. I was not expecting that. Adds a bit of mystery. Seven of ten.

Historia
The verdict is in: Free enterprise has lifted billions of people out of abject poverty all over the world and provided a higher quality of life than has ever been thought possible. But a growing case is forming in public opinion against free markets and for a significantly larger command and control management of the economy.

Absolutely Amazing
Revisado: 11-15-21
As somebody with little more than a superficial understanding of economics, I appreciate the philosophical, logical, and religious aspects of this book and how it makes so much clear.

Normally I just read his books on language
Revisado: 11-12-21
This was a great treat. I have liked his pieces on race and culture. This is a more thorough exploration and consolidation of his previous points and well worth the read. It offers solutions, not just complaints.

Historia
In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use - not drugs themselves - have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country's enduring structural racism. Dr. Hart did not always have this view. He came of age in one of Miami's most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes.

A solid mix of evidence and experience. Dr. Hart, however, is not a practiced voice performer, but it does not significantly distract from the message.

Historia
Padawan Reath Silas is being sent from the cosmopolitan galactic capital of Coruscant to the undeveloped frontier - and he couldn't be less happy about it. He'd rather stay at the Jedi Temple, studying the archives. But when the ship he's traveling on is knocked out of hyperspace in a galactic-wide disaster, Reath finds himself at the center of the action. The Jedi and their traveling companions find refuge on what appears to be an abandoned space station. But then strange things start happening, leading the Jedi to investigate the truth behind the mysterious station.

Helps with world building and explaining the Jedi Order. Was not super enthused with the voice acting at first, but came to appreciate the work.

Better

Despite the Quell heavy plot, the trilogy wraps up well. The voice actress is much better in this part than the first two.

Historia
What would actually make America great: more people. From one of our foremost policy writers, One Billion Americans is the provocative yet logical argument that if we aren’t moving forward, we’re losing. Vox founder Yglesias invites us to think bigger, while taking the problems of decline seriously. What really contributes to national prosperity should not be controversial: supporting parents and children, welcoming immigrants and their contributions, and exploring creative policies that support growth.

I don't typically read Vox, but I thoughy the ideas presented were interesting and well thought out. Not all of them are practicable, but definitely food for thought.

Historia
In Hate Crime Hoax, professor Wilfred Reilly examines over 100 widely publicized incidents of so-called hate crimes that never actually happened. With a critical eye and attention to detail, Reilly debunks these fabricated incidents - many of them alleged to have happened on college campuses - and explores why so many Americans are driven to fake hate crimes. We're not experiencing an epidemic of hate crimes, Reilly concludes - but we might be experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of hate crime hoaxes.

Interesting in Many Ways
Revisado: 08-15-20
Most immediately, it's good to get and see research into this. Riley treats his subject fairly and thoroughly with a good sense of humor. Further, the reader's delivery is so different from Riley's way of speaking, and hia accent is so educated and proper, that hearing him use the occasional, necessary profanity actually makes it funnier than if I had simply read it.

Good Story, Performance Less than Expected
Revisado: 08-02-20
Overall the story was good and is a good addition to the first installment. I preferred the voice actress from the first Alphabet Squadron book, so maybe reconsider if you are looking for continuity. I think her voice would have been better for a different book.
