I read the whole thing, and I thought it had Chomsky's voice. I've read a few of his books, and listened to him speak (not in person).

I agree, it reads like he talks. Could it be a transcript?

I doubt it's a transcript, since I think he implicitly mentions the writing process in several places. (The references to not giving full arguments.)
