Prologue from the forthcoming book Open Your Ears: Blind Curve Ahead by Scott Simonell

The night Scott Simonelli's family nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning, no alarm went off. No light flashed. What saved them was a sound -- or rather, the wrong sound. This is the prologue to Open Your Ears: Blind Curve Ahead, a book about why humans built a visual civilization on top of an auditory nervous system, and what we've been missing ever since.
