>How cand they read books if all they get is Audible?
from what i understand they can’t. i have not finished it yet but it’s not quite clear how the actual learning occurs at l’académie, nor how books and reading were suppressed so quickly among the general public. it appears that everyone *can* read, since there are memories of a time before the regime clamped down on books (even though the city is staffed with prefects who watch over, scrutinize and crack down on everything, you can apparently just waltz a few blocks away from main street and end up on skid row, or even a rogue’s house), and relearning to read takes time but is possible. if you can write, however, you’re basically pic related

again, not finished yet, and i’m at a part where i expect the man in the long black coat to flick away his cigarette and say ”you still don’t get it, do ya kid?” and explain all of the above
