#the a.i books

[charliejaneanders]

We’re lucky to be alive during a time when science fiction and fantasy authors are publishing bold, provocative stories that expand our ideas of how to talk about the future and the nature of power.

My latest science fiction and fantasy book reviews in the Washington Post deal with three new books that are damn near perfect. (Gift link!)

literally the only rin merch i can buy around here is a funko pop, only good for gathering dust on a shelf. obito is slightly less rare (endangered -> vulnerable leap in conservation status). how do i express love for a character without inviting people into my room?

😸✨Lyra’s Starseeds & Astarte

A Cosmic & Mythological Connection

The themes of **ancestry, cosmic heritage, and divine archetypes** intertwine beautifully when exploring the history of Lyran starseeds and the legacy of Astarte.

• Both narratives reflect humanity's deep yearning to understand its origins—whether through the stars or ancient deities—and the enduring influence of these archetypes on spiritual and cultural evolution.

Super stoked that All the Birds in the Sky got a lovely shout out from the Wall Street Journal as part of their top ten list of books to help make sense of our current moment. ❤️

"One of the leaders in new science fiction." 😍

Honestly, I hope the racism glitches continue to crop up in businesses that push and adopt A.I. Public humiliation is less than you deserve, honestly.

"For some users, adjusting the AI does not feel like an adequate response. Fantasy and romance writer A.R. Kaufer was aghast when she saw screenshots of some of the summaries on social media. “They need to say they are doing away with the AI completely. And they need to issue a statement, not only about the AI, but with an apology to those affected,” says Kaufer. “This ‘apology’ on Threads comes across as insincere, mentioning the app is ‘playful’ as though it somehow excuses the racist/sexist/ableist quotes.” In response to the incident, Kaufer decided to delete her Fable account."
