O livro envelheceu, e muito!

A idade do texto é dolorosa. É como ler sobre infecções antes Dr. Semmelweiß. Bom para um trabalho arqueológico do desenvolvimento do pensamento ambiental e empresarial.

nearly 30 years old

Narrator has an ok voice, but with excessive sibilance. Maybe a mic issue? While I agree with nearly everything in the book it does a lot of preaching on oft repeated ideas, not actually a whole lot about the title subject.

Good, but out of date

While the product page says this was released in 2020, the material is seemingly from the early 2000s. All the citations and quotes are from the 90s and early 2000s. The author references cassette tapes and CDs as things that could benefit from biomimicry. She says that "we don't make electric cars". Things like solar panels and 3D printing are discussed at length in an elementary, out of date way. It's disappointing because the concepts are great, but I get the sense that the material is simply old. When the product page says released in 2020, I had assumed that perhaps the material would be at least up to the mid-2010s.

Dated but good

This is a poetic work of non fiction with colorful descriptions and a good pacing. Much of the information is dated because it’s a book about cutting edge technology but was written in 1997 so expect a bit of speculation about future exciting technological/scientific achievements that have currently happened years ago. I did enjoy the future thinking of this book though and appreciated how many things this woman predicted that came true, and enjoyed even more those that didn’t. Overall I think this is a worthy snack for a hungry mind.

Amazing book

Despite I have the printed version of the book I finished in audiobook. Really loved this audio version of one of my favorites books.
