The audio book for Project Hail Mary is brilliantly done with amazing voice acting and even uses effects on Rocky’s voice to emphasize his musicality. Listening to a good audio book is like listening to the perfect film adaptation - it adds to the reading experience.

There’s a long, long way to go for AI to learn emotion before I’d spend 20+ hours listening to a book read by one.
