Highly engaging, entertaining and positive.

A brilliantly hopeful call for change by looking at the technology that is at hand and how we humans can utilise it for the benefit of us all, and for all life on earth. Bill Nye is a fantastic communicator, taking care to explain complicated ideas in ways most can understand. and his enthusiasm is infectious. It was a joy to listen to him.

Best book on Audible

This should be compulsory reading for every person on earth. Such a tough subject made so interesting. Trust Bill Nye to take you on a journey. Been a big fan since the Science guy days. Now an even bigger one!

A beautiful explanation, like no other

Would you consider the audio edition of Unstoppable to be better than the print version?

I have not read (and am unaware of) a print version to this audio book. Doubtlessly I would read it, however Bills reading is phenomenal. It is concise, simple (though thoroughly in depth) and entertaining.

What other book might you compare Unstoppable to, and why?

"the science of every day life" by Marty Jopson has a similar vibe to it. It attempts to relieve some of the complexity around some of the more interesting things which go unnoticed in our day to day life.
Comparisons can also be drawn to "On the Origin Of Species" and the "Selfish gene". Both due to the similarity in topic, but also die to the gifted nature of the auther / speaker.

What about Bill Nye’s performance did you like?

There is a reason Bill Nye is the prominent figure in mainstream science that he is. He is extremely witty, humble and intellectual.

Any additional comments?

This is NOT the book (/audio book) to convince a disbeliever in evolution of its validity. It is less concerned with arguing contradictory claims, and more concerned with highlighting simple beauties that may not have been considered by an evolution lover/thinker/scientist

Motivating, entertaining, and informing.. but!

This has been a pleasurable book to listen to. It was nice that the writer himself narrated the book; he really made it come to life, but a bit too much sometimes that you hope he'd calm down a bit.
The content itself is nice because it is varied and informative, but still could have been much better. There was a chapter or two supposedly talking about how an individual can reduce his or her Carbon print, but it mostly addressed those of the high or upper middle class only! A much better job could have been done here.
In addition, there were a couple of chapters about space exploration that only remotely fit here; they could have been replaced by something more relevant.

But again, I only mentioned the negatives because they are few and specific. Otherwise this is a very fun book. Truly motivating, entertaining, and informative.

Very positive and inspiring

It’s a great book with lots of good ideas, inspiration and advice. My only disappointment is that 8 years on and we’ve taken such little notice and instead headed very much full on and sped up towards the cliff. It’s also highly US centric but I get why and expected it. I just hope the ideas take off soon so it dampens the impact of what we are heading straight towards
