    Weaving insights from philosophy, neuroscience, and history into a rich narrative, The Shallows explains how the Internet is rerouting our neural pathways, replacing the subtle mind of the book reader with the distracted mind of the screen watcher. A gripping story of human transformation played out against a backdrop of technological upheaval, The Shallows will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

    Story

    Unfortunately, this is the first audiobook I've ever stopped listening to because of the narration. The text of the book would warrant a higher rating, but I found the narrator distractingly bad.

    I realize these things are often a matter of personal taste, but a warning to those with sensitive ears: definitely make sure to listen to the sample first. If you find yourself squirming after 30 seconds, I promise you'll be screaming after 30 minutes.

    I plan to finish reading a physical copy of the book, as it's quite interesting. So if you can handle the narrator, by all means check it out.
