Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut's first novel spins the chilling tale of engineer Paul Proteus, who must find a way to live in a world dominated by a supercomputer and run completely by machines. Paul's rebellion is vintage Vonnegut – wildly funny, deadly serious, and terrifyingly close to reality.

The story, of course, is fantastic. But what really stands out about this Audible book is Christian Rummel’s virtuoso performance. The sheer volume of characters he is able to give individual voices to is just mind-boggling! It’s one thing to have such a deep repertoire of different accents, inflections, etc. It’s quite another to be able to switch flawlessly from one to the others in rapid succession narrating the dialogue. This wasn’t a piano solo; it was an orchestra! Bravo, Mr. Christian.
Do yourself a favor and listen to his performance.
