Franklin Pierson does a good job narrating a book about meetings. The start is good. Protagonist is recruited by AI to resurrect fallen colony. Lots of exposition. But after that it seemed like there were a lot of meetings. It just lacked PowerPoint demonstrations.

So much talking. So many meetings

One of those books I wish I had never started, I'm sure it will appeal so some but too much rape etc. for me, I am looking for entertainment not the desire to wash my brain out.
