Nice book with the concentrated knowledge already delivered at Parrish’s website. The content is very good.
However, I have several concerns about the format, which is at least incomplete.
it is very difficult to follow it with just an Audible version as it is very concentrated and you will always need to look foward to reading some points more into deep. I am not eager to be double charged buying a printed version so Free Kindle version should be proposed with this audiobook (and please notre for the next books of the collection). This is a common problem with this type of books.
Regarding performance, it is read too fast. I needed to slow down to 0.75 just not to get too lost. Parrish reading is monotonous and always at the same pace so it is difficult to notice when the chapter ends, when it is a title, so you get distracted. I needed continuously to get a couple of minutes back to grasp a concept. This reinforces the need of a printed version.
Looking foward to hearing from Audible sending a link to the full book as Kindle version. If not available, I would suggest to wait for the printed version.

Histoire4 out of 5 stars 13
Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Great classic SF story, well-written and entreintaining as expected with PK Dick.
I was surprised for the excellent performance of the reader. Probably the best I have heard with a large number of characters very well interpreted. I was bluffed.

Nice 4 first stories but deceived by the last
Rédigé le : 13/09/2018
Nice first stories without being great. Special mention for the first one, which was very good. The other three were good and fair to hear. I’m backed off by the last, which takes more than one hour, which is.... the chapters of battles at Battle School from Ender’s Game. Looks like it was put there just to add more minutes to the books. Not very good for the fans of the saga looking for new stories.

Nice selection of motivational readings but impossible to give a proper adaptation to the oral expression. Very difficult to follow, absence of nuances. Exemple: nothing let's you know that you are hearing is an isolated phrase and not connected to the previous one up to the moment you understand that it is a citation...
