Please listen to this if like me you are hopelessly addicted to audible. I now discover that I can also get audiobooks on Spotify and although they are not a nice company either it works fine. I'm interested to see if this review is published as my negative reviews for books weirdly disappear, so a review that supports a book critical of audible is an interesting test of their AI algorithms.

A must listen for all of us enslaved to audible

Doctorow explains the ways that Amazon exploits their stranglehold on the audiobook market to the detriment of writers, narrators and publishers.

An evisceration of a harmful monpoly
