Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 110
The science fiction genre has become increasingly influential in mainstream popular culture, evolving into one of the most engaging storytelling tools we use to think about technology and consider the shape of the future. Along the way, it has also become one of the major lenses we use to explore important philosophical questions. The origins of science fiction are most often thought to trace to Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, a story born from a night of spooky tale-telling by the fireside that explores scientific, moral, and ethical questions that were of great concern in the 19th century - and that continue to resonate today.

Sidney Crosby is ready to tell his story in his own words. As one of the greatest NHL players of all time, he reflects on his 2005-06 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. From a Canadian phenom dubbed “the next Gretzky” to an 18-year-old carrying the burden of a struggling franchise, he talks candidly about the intense pressure he was under, the surreal experience of lacing up alongside his childhood idol Mario Lemieux and the truth about his rivalry with Alex Ovechkin.

The stories were excellent, it's always fun to hear about these things from the athletes perspective. If I had one criticism, it would only be that I want more!

Excellent advice!

The narrator did a fantastic job conveying the subject matter... what could have been very dry and boring was very enjoyable to listen to. There is a lot of information and ideas to digest in this book, and so many very well thought out examples. I will definitely be listening to this book again in the coming months. I would recommend this book to ANYONE working in/with UX or thinking about doing so!

It wasn't quite what I expected it would be when I downloaded it... that being said I think it was better! Very informative, providing some insight to me and my difficulty falling asleep. Will be looking into some of the ideas and items mentioned in the podcast.
Don't listen to this before bed though... LoL
You want to be awake and mindful when listening to this series. Some chapters I listened to multiple times to really take in what was said...

I will be honest, the book didn't start off the way I expected it to... That being said, I think it started off exactly the way it should have. The beginning of the book really lays the foundation for all the topics covered later in the book.
