    I’m curious enough to try this.

    Audiobooks are made or broken by the quality of the narration. It’s not enough to simply narrate written word, the narrator has to “act” as well. Given the quality of other arts engaged by AI I’m going into this skeptical.

      Love all works narrated by Kramer, also all the newest Discworld recordings (absolute masterpieces)

      You should give Ender’s Game a listen, the one narrated by Harlan Ellison and Stefan Rudnicki (I borrowed from my local library). The performance is excellent.
