“Memory is not a recording device; it is a sculptor. We remember selectively, emotionally, and interpretively.”

― JP Pulcini, I Am; Therefore I Think: Consciousness and Humanity in the Age of AI

“This is a thoughtful and deeply felt book. It reminds me that our most urgent questions about AI are still, underneath it all, questions about the soul of human life: what we remember, what we love, what we lose, what we fear, and why any of it matters.”
