Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jeff Cummings’ narration in 'The Glass Cage' is nothing short of exceptional, with his calm and measured voice perfectly complementing Carr’s meticulous prose. The first half delves into the history of automation with compelling anecdotes, but it’s the second part where things get really engaging—Carr makes a strong case for why we should consider technology’s impact on our well-being. However, at times, the dense academic language can feel heavy, even when supported by Cummings’ delivery. Still, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone curious about how modern technology affects human interaction and decision-making.
