Stephenson's writing seems to lend itself to frequent non-sequiters, extended metaphors, and rabbit trails which admittedly left me lost more than a few times (I don't have an issue following these parts when reading physically).Ī few times in the book he'd go off into a two or three page description of something technical or a loosely related analogy, which through audio, could be a ten minute rabbit trail, and I would lose track of which character this chapter was actually about. Parts of the book were extremely technical and required full attention if I wanted to follow along and I found myself rewinding a bit too often. Listen while driving, walking, doing other things.īut this is also the downside to listening. The books is incredibly long, so I did find some benefits to listening vs reading because I could multi-task.
