it's a really good book about, basically, how to be a good person.

I've read this twice. Enjoyed it both times and have referred frequently back to it. I second this wholeheartedly

I personally believe that it's a very useful book to have read (or listened to) if you're going to write any software that humans interact with

I agree, totally worth reading, but when I read it in grad school I found it exceedingly dry. kinda had to choke it down.

it has multiple voice actors as well as ambient background sounds. Definitely adds some color to an already impressive novel.

I found the sections on identifying a bottle neck in a system, focusing on optimizing the system around this point and re-evaluating system performance afterwards very applicable to software engineering.

"Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions" by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths is an interesting listen on Audible.
