Love the writing, though the distance between major events keeps increasing rather than the opposite! Further, the endless introduction of new POV characters is getting excessive, to my taste. Look forward to next instalment...
It is not the book to read if you are just getting started on biocentrism, but it is great at building upon the foundations of the previous ones. It meanders a bit in weirdly positioned side quests that felt thrown in without much intentionality. The ideas themselves, however, are incredible and world-changing.
Good read
I gave it four stars for the earnestness more than the depth of the insights. That being said, I found it to be overly autobiographical at times in ways that did not feel necessary. But overall a nice testimony. If it can help a stressed out New Yorker news anchor, it ought to help average joes.
Really enjoyed this, but I finished it and felt it needed...more? There is such a great historical survey of how tools and literature are intertwined, but as the book approached the present day, it felt a bit rushed considering the momentous impact of the technologies discussed.
I am actively considering writing a book myself specifically on the intersection of AI and literature, albeit focusing exclusively on fiction so this felt like mandatory reading and opened up many doors in my research.
In short, recommended!
