Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Arthur Morey's narration of 'Enlightenment Now' is a standout feature that elevates an already engaging text. His measured tone and clear enunciation make dense philosophical ideas digestible, maintaining a steady pace throughout the lengthy audiobook. Morey’s background in theater shines through, lending depth to Pinker’s arguments without overshadowing them. One minor critique is that some sections might benefit from a bit more dynamic inflection; however, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise polished performance. The content itself is enriching, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the often-pessimistic views of our times and offering practical insights into how we can continue to improve as a species.
