Finished: “Seventy-Two Letters”
Thoughts: a great discussion on technology, hubris, and society. insanely applicable to ai today. good points made on tech and science and their potential to both harden the status quo and flatten it. i like the way religion is woven into this, a bit more interesting than just the classic condemnation of mimicking god and creation.

Thoughts: journey over destination. on staying the path despite knowing the ending because the experience is what makes it matter. also, what are aliens and technology and innovation compared to memories and a mother’s love? (nothing)

Finished: "Division by Zero"
Thoughts: an examination of human connection told through the lens of mathematics and a fraying relationship. logic vs. emotion. empathy. understanding each other despite different ways of thinking (and yet sometimes shared experience is not enough). 5/5 stars.

Finished: “Understand”
Thoughts: if i have to read the word “gestalt” one more time i’ll puke. other thoughts…intelligence and hubris are always intertwined. inward vs outward thinking. holy power trip. mind boggling exploration of the human mind, consciousness, and, subtly, morality. 5/5 stars.

Finished: “Tower of Babylon”
Thoughts: read two pages and thought i knew precisely where this was going. lo and behold i was mostly right but there’s a pleasant twist to what i expected. enjoyed the storytelling immensely. 3.5/5 stars
