Ever wanted to crack the creme bruleé of Mr. Darcy’s stoicism? Or give Humbert Humbert a piece of your mind?

If so, you’re in luck. This Thursday, Audible announced a series of features that will let readers solve what’s historically made for a pleasant mystery.

According to TechCrunch , three new AI-supported tools will allow audiobook listeners to “explore a book’s characters, engage in interactive stories, and view additional imagery and bonus information about landmarks or places” mentioned in a given book.

The character guide has promising applications for stories with many players. This accessibility-minded feature will “display who’s speaking in real time directly on the player page so listeners don’t get lost.”

I imagine such a tool could really help one keep their bearings in sprawling multiverse or polyphonic novels, like One Hundred Years of Solitude . Middlemarch . War and Peace .

But Amazon believes in baby steps first. You can soon use the guide in an audiobook of Orwell’s 1984 . Presumably to keep track of the :checks notes: three main characters.

Likewise, the “spoiler-free character cards, which showcase the narrator behind the voice,” should be useful for those of us with Swiss cheesy memories or auditory aphasia.

That’s assuming you don’t believe that constantly paging or scrolling back to the top of a book is a crucial part of the epic-reading experience.
