Episode Description from the Publisher

Join Amanda and Joseph as they go through the looking glass into the fascinating (and anxiety inducing) world of artificial intelligence - and recommending some fiction and non-fiction picks about Large Language Models, bots, and the machines learning to live like us. Plus, as always they'll be chatting about what they've been reading recently and what they hope to pick up next. Bookish NewsLambda Literary Awards @lambdaliteraryNova Scotia House by Charlie Porter Black Panther Woman by Mary Frances Phillips @maryfrancisphillips The Lilac People by Milo Todd @todd_miloVirago Modern Classics @viragopressFrost In May by Antonia White Peking Picnic by Ann BridgeRecent ReadsThe Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout @lizstroutauthorSoft Core by Brittany Newell @frottage_industryGood Girl by Aria Aber @aria.aberThe Spare Room by Helen GarnerHow to End a Story by Helen GarnerSmall Rain by Garth Greenwell @ggreenwellThe Ghost in the ManuscriptOlga Tokarczuk @tokarczuk_olgaMartin Scorcese @martinscorceseKane Parsons @kanepixelsJosh Johnson @joshjohnsoncomedyField Work as a Sex Object by Meena Kandasamy @k.a.n.d.a.s.a.m.yThe New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates @laura_bates_Meditations for the Anxious Mind @meditationsfortheanxiousmindHow to Talk to AI (and How Not To) by Jamie Bartlett @jamiejbartlettAnnie Bot by Sierra Greer @sierra_greer_writerMachines Like Me by Ian McEwanThe Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI by Cory DoctorowWhat We’re Reading NextWhistler by Ann Patchett @annpatchettCurious Readers is mixed by the incredibly talented James Whiting @fishislandstudio Hosted on Acast.
