Browsing thru it. I'd get "The Golem and the Jinn" if I didn't already have it.

Yeah, all the gender diversity of a NOW convention.

Although I did pick up "Singularity Trap". That sounded like a low risk choice, since I like both the author and the narrator.

Singularity Trap was a great book.

Writing a book to explain a simple concept is a waste of time IMO. Don't trust Audible's inflated ratings.

I liked to read the negative reviews first:"
I would have never finished this book. Loved Dennis's Bobiverse books but this book is horrible. One dimensional characters, stereotypes galore, today's politics, razor thin plot and horrible science. Very slow deadliest catch start leads to what should finally give the reader some action they've been craving, but ultimately leads to disappointment. Not sure if this was a book Dennis wrote prior to the Bob books (i.e., his first book), but hopefully this isn't what we have to look forward to in the future.

Quote from Fibrocyte :

Audible's cancellation policy is trash. You lose all of your accrued credits when you cancel.

I won't pay them anymore.

Why not spend all the credits before you cancel??

How else would you trash a company? You screw up and you trash the company. Customer's ignorance doesn't count, every one expect Amazon/Audible to forgive their stupidity.
