Boring Bedtime Stories for Sleep

Audiobook (Includes supplementary content)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.


Can the humble paperclip really be the subject of an entire book?

Absolutely—and, somehow, it's even less exciting than you'd imagine. From its origins and mechanics to its unexpected (but not exactly thrilling) role in history, this audiobook takes a deep dive into the world's most unremarkable object.

Do you struggle to find something that's just interesting enough to distract your mind but so uneventful it makes you want to drift off? Well, you've found it.

Inside, you'll uncover:

  • The riveting history of paperclip design (spoiler: it bends).
  • Painstaking details about its materials and manufacturing process.
  • Its surprising appearances in war, art, and popular culture.
  • A narration so steady, it might as well be counting sheep.
  • Perfectly mundane yet oddly soothing, Boring Stories to Help You Sleep: The Complete History of Paperclips is here to provide you with a cure for insomnia—or at least a newfound appreciation for bent bits of wire.

    Listen now, and if you find it too stimulating, well... that's your problem.
