I listened to this as an audiobook and, though I enjoyed Bryson reading his own work, this book struck me as very dated. The fact that cars come equipped with lots of cup holders is no longer noteworthy; everyone knows that the 1040 tax form is obtuse. Bryson mostly sounds like an old fart, whining about “the way things used to be.” I would recommend his other works over this.
