Each of Gleick’s books point us to the theoretical and logical work that has led to AI, the innovations that seem in the last few months to have broken free from imaginations and laboratories and like the telephone are transforming our everyday lives. I’ll wait for Gleick to pick up the trace of Claude Shannon in Anthropic’s Claude and assemble the cast and solve the equations that will help us make sense of our lives amid thinking machines.
An enthralling deep dive ... With characteristic wit and a boundless appetite for anecdote, Gleick transforms a quotidian device into a prism through which to see the world anew.
