WHAT SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ABOUT? Real Scenarios That Keep Scientists Up at Night

The Edge Foundation, an association of science and technology intellectuals, offers an annual question to its members. The 2013 Edge Question was: "What should we be worried about?" This audiobook consists of more than 150 brief responses by science intellectuals--prominent and obscure. The essays are best enjoyed a handful at a time. The ensemble of narrators is excellent. Their pace is good, their diction is clear, and they have little difficulty with the sometimes challenging technical vocabulary. Peter Berkrot, perhaps, sounds a little too much like the narrator of a negative political ad. This will bother you only if you listen to too many essays at once.
