I, too, listened to the audio; agreed - the narration was good, the content ... not so much. Best part were the scenes in the past, but the present (future), were pretty bad. Even as the book went to press folks had answering machines (and pagers), with commonality of mobile phones right there on the near horizon. Yet, 50 years from now folks sit around waiting for phone calls as though it were the 1960's? Zzzzzzzzzzzz
On the other hand, I absolutely loved To Say Nothing of the Dog.
