Seminal work ruined by a terrible performance.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd recommend a paper version. The audio book's narrator will put anyone to sleep. Slow. Inexpressive.

Would you recommend Necessary Illusions to your friends? Why or why not?

The contents of the book, yes. Paper version.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kevin Stillwell?

Anyone else! Robin Bloodworth did a great job with Noam's work. I'd recommend Robin to redo all of the Chomsky's books on Audible.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's hard to say. The book was nigh unbearable to watch. Buying the paper version.

Any additional comments?

Kevin Stillwell does no favors to Chomsky's work.

Challenging even for radical minds

Every so often I come across a book that changes the way I see the world. I'm still seeing the same things in the media, but now I have a constant awareness of the potential missing facts in a story. It won't eliminate the box, but it should help you think outside of it.

Where do we go from here??

Love this book, the information sheds light on the Empire of the US, and how this pseudo-democracy uses clandestine activity to remain an empire without competition. Stifling those who speak out against the US. Destroying communities, countries and indigenous people in the name of “spreading Freedom and Democracy” when in truth, only exploiting human beings and our environment, enslaving humanity to more and more technology and confining us to toxicity on all levels...
As a member of the masses.... When will enough be enough???

This book IS THOUGHT CONTROL..

Any additional comments?

The author is using thought shaping to channel you to his interpretations of events given in this book. It is not an objective analysis of the events or times in history covered. The author has an obvious bias.
