EVERYTHING ABRIDGED

No one else could have narrated this audiobook as successfully as Nathan Lang. His smooth and bright voice pairs perfectly with the tone of this ingenious audiobook. It's an alphabetical reference book that serves to help listeners understand a future world imagined by the author through short, humorous definitions and short stories. The stories tell of a nonsensical dystopian future in which capitalism is unchecked, the state spies on everyone in absurd ways, and racism is still a problem. The definitions are savvy and, at times, hilarious. Lang's narration will keep listeners engaged even as the future described is bleak. Lang's tone and delivery pair delectably with this edgy and shrewd commentary on society from a clever author. A.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
