The reading from the YouTube channel Fear The Qu is great. I know this book gets a lot of criticism, and ended up wildly changed from what Dixon wanted to do on his own, but I really enjoy the final production. The vignettes of life through the ages, the nature documentary style, and even the creeping fringe scifi element of inherited memories makes for a fascinating narrative.
There’s nothing really like it, as the only other major comparable work is All Tomorrows, which has a drastically different tone and doesn’t have the varying post-humans interacting in close proximity and changing with eachother (aside from the big changes towards the end).
