    What a lovely narration. Beautiful story. It's interesting to see addiction illustrated in such a tangible way; so relatable after all this time. Its fascinating in a number of ways. I could write several paragraphs.

      @@lavona8204 Agreed! I absolutely hate being spoken to be a fake human! I find it SOOO emotionally insulting, despite how excellently it’s done. Like you say, it’s incredible that technology can do things this well. Despite those blips, it’s actually incredible. The intonation and flow is actually really amazing, and it gives us the opportunity to listent o books like this, which would be less easy to get if it wasn’t here… But, I still would love it to be read out by someone like Alan Watts. His wonderful voice and talks are so real, and it’ll always be better than AI!
      Have a wonderful day, friend.

      I'm impressed. But I was so into the short story by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky!
      "Numerous literary critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces."

    When things happen and people think it could have been prevented, the blame is still on the violator of rights and we really don't know what would have happened, if things were different.
    It is effective to call people to good qualities; through their other good qualities.

    The Russians have an irritating custom of using two long, full and frequently unpronounceable names when speaking to or of a person and using them repeatedly and FAR TOO OFTEN. . It doesn't help the readability or flow of a story. These are heavy, dreary stories to begin with and weighing down sentences with endless repetitions of ponderous, overly complex names doesn't make them more approachable.
