Story
In his final novel - which he considered his most important - Aldous Huxley transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years. Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and - to his amazement - give him hope.

Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fund-raising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’ worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work.

Two Twain parodies are worth a listen
Chapters and stories don’t align. 4:20 before the beginning of chapter 11 is a hilarious Sherlock Holmes parody. Follow an exploit of Hemlock Jones’s Inductive reasoning. I haven’t laughed so hard from an audible book ever! A dry Poe story follows but then about 30:30 into chapter 13 is the detective story of a stolen elephant which definitively skewers their methods in unsurpassed manner.
I didn’t find anything else memorable and many stories were terrible like discarded chapters from longer books, having no beginning or end or intrigue.
