Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change

Zeller, a veteran narrator of YA audiobooks, reads tech-industry whistleblower Pao’s story of suing a venture capital firm for gender discrimination. Zeller adopts an enthusiastic, sometimes childlike voice in Pao’s descriptions of her family and her childhood in a suburb of New Jersey, which continues throughout the book and sounds far less appropriate when Pao is describing the sexism she encountered as junior partner at the tech venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, or relaying statistics about the tech industry’s lack of inclusion of women. Overall, the narration is deeply sympathetic to Pao’s cause, but does not capture its gravitas. A Spiegel & Grau hardcover. (Sept.)
