Synopsis of the lincoln highway a novel6/27/2023 ![]() Even as she waits for circumstances to bring Tinker back into her orbit, she will learn how individual choices become the means by which life crystallizes loss. Befriended in turn by a shy, principled multimillionaire, an Upper East Side ne’er-do-well, and a single-minded widow who is ahead of her times, Katey has the chance to experience first hand the poise secured by wealth and station, but also the aspirations, envy, disloyalty, and desires that reside just below the surface.

Human compatible by stuart russell6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() The prospect of conveying the culmination of that knowledge and information to intelligent machines is both incredibly exciting and potentially catastrophic. The result in our very human civilization. We have stood on the shoulders of giants, used and built upon the knowledge of our ancestors first through the word of mouth, and then through written language-mostly in the form of books. What human beings have been able to achieve has been the result of our unique ability to communicate and convey knowledge to each other and onto successive generations. ![]() Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control by Stuart Russell, Viking ![]()

![]() But I wouldn’t necessarily define it as occult. ![]() It’s definitely a meta novel and there are horrific scenes of torture throughout. ![]() I don’t entirely agree with either categorization. The novel is categorized on Amazon as metaphysical and occult horror. I feel as though it’s a bit sacrilegious of me to discuss the novel before my book club has had a chance to meet, but in doing so, perhaps I can organize my own insights before I engage in a deeper discussion with them of the novel in question. So instead, I shared with you one of our recent finds: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry Augustby Claire North. I love those book clubs for what they are but the singular club of which I speak is sacred to me and has expanded my reading mind in ways I can’t even begin to articulate. ![]() ![]() Normally, the book clubs in which I engage often operate on the following schedule: 20 minutes of book talk (normally of a shallow nature) and followed by the liberal pour of wine and gossip. Its members care deeply and strongly about literature. I have been lucky, frankly, to be a member of a special sort of book club. ![]() |
