Sometimes I am blown away at how fast tech is changing. I want to read a book, Blueprint for a Revolution. I met the author Srđa Popović at the Oslo Freedom Forum in May and will see him again at another conference next week. I think his work is interesting because he's not partisan left or right, just really practical about how we keep democratic and pluralistic societies.

The thing is, i've got dyslexia and ADHD, I love books and reading, but it's hard. So i strongly prefer audiobooks. There isn't an audio book of Blueprint for Revolution. No problem, some googling and i find a pdf, and then vibe code an audio book maker! A few minutes later, I've got a remarkably good audiobook for me. It sounds great. Now any book i want, i can make an audio book.

The script even handles making sense of chapters, and stripping out text which isn't meant to be read like page numbers and image source text.

This kind of thing wasn't possible a year ago. Now it's a side project, i'm able to make professional audio books just for myself. The world is changing.
