The first time I tried to listen to this, I turned it off less than an hour in, as I found the relentless optimism depressing. Ironically, the part immediately after that addressed some of the cautions that were on my mind, though at a somewhat minimal level. This piece is very much a cheerleader for the technology of the future. Some of it is abstract, why-d0-we-need-that, but most of it has clear and obvious applications that could improve the world for people (and some of it is already in use for that).
It's the sort of piece where parts of it will age well, and feel relevant ten years from now, and other parts will be out of date in a year or less. Still, it's nice to listen to something news-like with a hopeful message for a change.
Adam Savage is an excellent narrator, unsurprisingly.
Audible Originals Scorecard:
Good: 3
Mediocre: 1
Bad: 2
(Side note: both of the bad ones were in the thriller genre; the good and mediocre ones were all non-fiction)

This was an excellent book. I loved hearing about all the new technology and where some people are trying to go. I especially liked what some people try to do for those with CP. I loved learning about Field Ready; if I were able, I would love to join this company.

This was so intriguing and inspiring. A good dose of hope amidst all the wrongs in the world. A reminder that there are so many intellectual minds & good hearts dedicating their lives to figuring out solutions to the problems we face.
