Really recommend this book! Fascinating story about a man making the impossible possible over and over again and who's vision of turning us into a multi-planetary species has reignited my optimism for the future of mankind.

Story
A report on how the greed of a privileged few, subsidized by public funding, creates substantial profits for themselves from mass human suffering.This was a speech given by General Butler during a nationwide tour in the early 1930's, but it applies even more today! Listen as he frankly discusses, from his experience as a career military officer, how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He then suggests several practical solutions for reducing the pillage.

Brilliant story and narrator
Reviewed: 12-15-21
Unbelievable that a man had these incredibly progressive thoughts and ideas back in 1935 and even earlier. Everyone should read or listen to this book. It should be in the basic curriculum in every high school in the world.

Story
In our interconnected world, self-interest and social interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse.

The most important book ever
Reviewed: 10-23-21
This book needs to be read by everyone. It should be on the curriculum in school. I believe Peter Joseph is right, the change to a new society and new fundamental social and economic systems and institutions is inevitable. The question is, how much suffering of people and how much destruction of the planet and wildlife do we have to cause before we change our ways?
Thank you Peter for all your inspiring words and thought-provoking ideas! You literally changed my life.

Story
Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.

Worth listening to, and occasionally hilariously funny, this is however like a long rant rather than a story. Was hoping for more philosophical reflections on life and community. The word play is as always ingenious and the performance captivating.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Awe-inspiring and hilarious sci-fi adventure

Good story and excellent narration. Ranging from agonizing life and death situations to hilariously funny moments, this is ultimately a hopeful future vision of the achievements and also empathy that we as humans are capable of. Wheaton really draws you in and makes the whole listening experience very enjoyable.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ok
Reviewed: 06-03-21
Ok story, not Weir's best. All the profanity was unnecessary. Narration was also ok, although I think if you as narrator choose to do all the accents you should really be good at them, otherwise skip it. If you want to listen to (or read) Weir at his best, choose for instance "Project Hail Mary" or "The Martian".

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
