Summary
"The first computational study of readers and reading to focus on audiobooks, this book uses a unique and substantial set of reader consumption data, to show how audiobooks and digital streaming platforms affect our literary culture. Offering an academic perspective on the kind of user data hoard we associate with tech companies, it asks: When it comes to audiobooks, what do people really read, and how and when do they read it?"-- Provided by publisher.
