Books are the most resilient, tested, and lasting units of information that transfer large amounts of knowledge between humans. Reading a book is like eating soup from a can: itâs nutritious, tastes OK, but there is a better wayâan audio book narrated by a capable voice. By recording a book we can bring it along on adventures such as nature walks in state parks; the combination of walking and listening reveals the paper bookâs essence and lets us process its ideas fully. A paper book stores ideas for longâterm archiving, while an audio version lets us hear the authorâs soul, heart, and spirit, making the content more personal. Companies that can produce meaningful audiobooks should release them to students now; access to knowledge is a moral duty, especially for young people facing new challenges.
