I was actually going through the audiobook of this trying to gather and classify enough data to fine tune a Piper TTS voice of the Star Trek computer.
Haven’t finished it yet, but maybe one day. While I normally would have ethical qualms about commanding the likenesses of the dead, they actually did try to collect voice data before Majel Barrett died; unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to actually pull it off, but the attempt feels as close to consent for this sort of thing as one can get.

Just got around to this one and finished it last night. Thanks for the recommendation. Was definitely different and fun. Kind of a “breather episode” compared to the high stakes of the rest of the ones I’ve been reading.
