peters voice is pleasant, i feel that anyone reading his works would be inadequate. i do appreciate the work being done by this man, and consideration should be given to animal with a gradient or levels of consciousness. however towards the end peter makes a couple assertions in that robots/ ai cannot be made conscious by replicating the patterns of human mind. it is asserted that there's something still missing from them which cannot be simulated, i feel this assertion is unfounded and had no supporting argument, which later on he acknowledges robots may one day become conscious(making that whole segmentkind of useless as it supported nothing else). besides that end piece, this is a great read for anyone interested in ethics and animal rights.

smooth clear and empathetic voice work, always ever intriguing and the story itself pairs nicely with simmons voice which could sell an eskimo a snowball pile

just as true today

with the recent election of 2016, and the upcoming election of 2020 I feel this book should be mandatory reading at the polls... so much of this is even more applicable to certain campaigns of today than when it was written.

the man is unwilling to beg and plead for life, the apology of Socrates is not in sniveling and sobbing but a well rounded and based defense of one of our wisest yet.

the pacing of it is very fluid, you'll find yourself listening through the entire thing in one sitting if not careful 😄

Richard's writing style is intentional that so its easiest for even the most novice in biology can understand such complex and nuanced processes on at least a surface level, in comparison to biology books I've read in the past ie on the origin of the species, this was a delightful experience which will likely enjoyed again in a week or so.

its as natural to listen to as it is to sleep

the soothing voice of dion graham is reminesceint of those long forgotten bedside tales, this pairs wonderfully with carl's writting style qhich can best be summerized by a very enthusiastic friend sitting across from you at the campfire. Carl sagan is a masterfull writer and is able to cover a wide breath of topics from religion to science, from life to death, without rambling and seamlessly transitioning between. broca's brain is truly a disection of carl sagan's brain as proposed at the begining, starting with an acknoledgement of those before him, then delving into his passion of science, his inquiries of religion, his birth and finally his death.

still just as applicable today as when released

deeply enthralling, an enchanting trap of philosophical science mixed with a gorgeous perspective on the human condition contrasted with that of a culture "alien" to our own.
