What's some theory that reads like a story with a main character? (hexbear.net)

I'm used to fiction where one character is always at the focus.

PDFs and audio would help. I not good at finding them.

Bullshit Jobs by Graeber has a very distinct voice, with it either being Graebers reflections on his own life, or him responding to letters people have sent him about their experiences.

The Michael Parenti lectures are great too. All free on YouTube. Usually he's speaking at a lecture and reading some excerpts from his new book. His signature is that he always has a problem with the mic and complains about it in very Italian American fashion. Very witty and spirited. I find Parenti endlessly charming. I kind of love that man. Just pick a lecture you like the sound of, and have a watch/listen. They're reposted unofficially on Spotify under 'Not Michael Parenti'. I'd recommend the ones where he talks about movies and media to start with - they're the most joke filled, and pop-cultureish, which makes for easier listening.

Youtube channel "Chemical Mind" has taken a few of the lectures and ran them through audio software to improve audio quality
