À propos de cet audio

 New York Times bestselling author Chuck Klosterman asks questions that are profound in their simplicity: How certain are we about our understanding of gravity? How certain are we about our understanding of time? What will be the defining memory of rock music, five hundred years from today? How seriously should we view the content of our dreams? How seriously should we view the content of television? Are all sports destined for extinction? Is it possible that the greatest artist of our era is currently unknown (or—weirder still—widely known, but entirely disrespected)? Is it possible that we “overrate” democracy? And perhaps most disturbing, is it possible that we’ve reached the end of knowledge?

Klosterman visualizes the contemporary world as it will appear to those who'll perceive it as the distant past. Kinetically slingshotting through a broad spectrum of objective and subjective problems, But What If We’re Wrong? is built on interviews with a variety of creative thinkers—George Saunders, David Byrne, Jonathan Lethem, Kathryn Schulz, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene, Junot Díaz, Amanda Petrusich, Ryan Adams, Nick Bostrom, Dan Carlin, and Richard Linklater, among others—interwoven with the type of high-wire humor and nontraditional analysis only Klosterman would dare to attempt. It’s a seemingly impossible achievement: a book about the things we cannot know, explained as if we did. It’s about how we live now, once “now” has become “then.” Culture populaire Essais Philosophie Sciences sociales Ouvrages généraux Spirituel

I only listened to the first few chapters. I like Chuck Klosterman’s appearances on podcasts, but just couldn’t get into this. There were interesting points, but it was too meandering without a discernible overall point much of the time.

Didn’t finish this one

This was a fascinating listen, but the choice of narrator was unfortunate. She has a good voice but it didn’t suit Chicks style.

Would have been better with Chuck Narrating.

The book is interesting and at times quite thoughtful, but I was disappointed that it wasn't Chuck Klosterman reading it.

Wish it was Chuck

The narrator did her best, but she just wasn't the right choice for the material. Klosterman's particular brand of American-centric pop culture philosophy sounds best when read by him. And if not him, then preferably some other mid-west American male. Being that his material is written in first person, often about his personal experiences, having an English woman read it was really bizarre at times and prevented me from fully enjoying the material. C'mon Chuck, read the next one!

Good Narrator but Completely Wrong for Material

The author has some excellent, possibly revolutionary points in terms of our to view the world accurately, but the way he gets them across is often clunky and long-winded.

Exceptional ideas, but often off-topic

What a disappointment to see that Chuck is listed as a narrator but only to find out that it is for the introduction and the outro. I don't read Chuck's books, I listen to them, because he is so perfectly suited for audiobooks. Had I known, I would not have purchased this audio book, and I won't be finishing it either because a British accent is so ill suited to the content. This is nothing against Fiona.

A re-record with Chuck please

The author announces early that he has elected to have the bulk of his book read by a British woman on account of the fact that he "likes the sound of British accents better" or something to that effect. While I will concede that Klosterman's own voice is perhaps not best-suited for narration, the fact that he declares this at the outset in a self-deprecating tone that is periodically echoed throughout the book results in a listening experience that just doesn't sound right. The phrasing and language used in this book is quite blatantly American and to hear a British woman recite the words of a millennial dude from New York is inescapably bizarre and inspires no confidence in the words that were written. You would never hear Stephen Fry or David Attenborough unironically describe a historical revolutionary's obsequious will to create change by staying that they "refused to chill." It sounds just as inappropriate in this reading and he'd have been better off just recording it himself.

Weird choice for a narrator... kinda ruins it...
