Here’s a recording of myself reading Yochai Benkler’s The Wealth of Networks.
To listen, see the Internet Archive page, or download a zip of the mp3s (559MB).
For a taste, listen to Chapter 12 (the conclusion), which is the best reading of the bunch.

I read most of this book under less-than-ideal circumstances, as documented below:
- Chapter 1: valium
- Part 1 intro: fasting, tired
- Chapter 2: just woke up
- Chapter 3: too much coffee
- Chapter 4: caffeine withdrawal
- Part 2 intro: fasting
- Chapter 5: too much coffee, very tired
- Chapter 6 : woke up in the middle of the night
- Chapter 7: a few drinks
- Chapter 8: hungry, skipped lunch
- Chapter 9: too much melatonin
- Chapter 10: trazodone
- Part 3 intro: lots of coffee plus valium
- Chapter 11: tea
- Chapter 12: happy to be in the home stretch
I really gotta re-record Chapter 1 one of these days.
