Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World | Irene Vallejo

I don‘t know what‘s weirder the fact that I had to wait for over a month for this audiobook to be available or the fact that I waited for a month to read this book…

#VirginiaBloomsberries

Our February #buddyread is VW's third novel, published in 1922, Jacob's Room. The main protagonist, Jacob Flanders, is revealed to us through the opinions of other characters. This is considered an important text as VW moves away from conventional plot driven fiction to a more experimental, modernist way of writing.

Harari consistently writes thought provoking, historical, interesting books about our species, intelligence and information. This doesn‘t disappoint and gives perspective about information now is different than other advances in technology. It‘s fantastic and terrifying.

Tamra I‘m glad you like it! I got this for my husband for Xmas. 🎅🏾 1mo

Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI | Yuval Noah Harari

Not exactly “brief” at 17+ hours, I felt like I was taking a college class on AI and the history of communications. YNH shares ideas about how humans network, how information travels and how terrifying our online world currently is and where we go from here. If you have an interest in AI and its future, internet bots, how our online information is taken and used, this book gives you a lot to think about. I enjoyed the ideas I leaned about.

ChaoticMissAdventures What if you have a deep seeded hatred for AI to the point that your firms IT director will not let anyone in the firm mention AI to you any longer? Will this help give me ammunition to fight "progress"? ? Or maybe make me less angry about how much water these programs are using? 2mo

Cortg @ChaoticMissAdventures Ha! Where I work we actually have an AI teams page where everyone bitches about it and how we can do our job while minimally using it and it‘s where I came across this title. Unfortunately, AI‘s not going away. My thought is to stay informed and understand it. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer kind of thing. It has so much potential to be dangerous in so many ways. (edited) 2mo

Cortg @ChaoticMissAdventures Yes, it‘ll give you ammunition in many of his ideas. 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Cortg for sure on enemies closer! I have figured out searching Google by putting -noAI gives you responses with out the AI crap which has helped so much. 2mo

SqueakyChu I‘m reading this book now and only finished three chapters before it was due back at the library. Now I‘m back on the waiting list for me to get it again! 😦 2mo

Cortg @SqueakyChu I have a physical copy on hold because I wanted to (re)read a section towards the end. 🧐 2mo

SqueakyChu @Cortg You, too!! 😂 2mo

Cortg @SqueakyChu I checked today and I‘m #25 on the hold list, which actually makes me happy because people will hopefully read it! 2mo

SqueakyChu 👍 2mo
