Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Leon Neyfakh’s dual role as narrator and author in 'Backfired' elevates the listening experience. His measured tone perfectly complements the weighty subject matter, ensuring clarity even when discussing intricate regulatory details. The pacing is impeccable, allowing for moments of suspense where new complications arise from previous solutions. Specific episodes like the rise and fall of JUUL highlight both the innovation and the public health crises it sparked. However, at times, the relentless focus on vaping laws can feel slightly overwhelming, perhaps benefiting from more personal anecdotes to ground listeners. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and society.
