As I posted a week or so ago, I’m involved in a project this summer where I’m recording myself reading from Films from the Future: The technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies, and posting the readings up on my personal YouTube channel.
Given the success of the project, it’s been moved to its very own YouTube Channel: The Films from the Future project.
Chapters 1 and 2 are already up, and over the next few weeks the following chapters will be posted.
To keep abreast of the latest uploads, you can subscribe to the channel here.
As I point out in the introductory video, I’m not a voice actor, and so these recordings are far from perfect. Yet despite this, there’s a nuance and insight you get from listening to an author read their own work — whether it’s from the phrasing and cadence, to what’s emphasized and what is not — that you don’t get from someone else reading the work.
Plus — and this is a large part of why I’m doing this — the videos make the book and the ideas and information it contains accessible to anyone with an internet connection (and YouTube access — sorry China!). And ultimately, this is why I wrote it.
If you find the videos useful, please let me know — and spread the word!
