The side of AI that isn’t talked about. Very important reading.

This book was eye-opening and really shines a light into the gapping abyss that there is between our use of technology and everything that has to happen for this technology to be widely available.

I found this book so important for everyone to read. A crossroads of flavors, culture, fear, and hope it reminds us of our place in a systemic world, and shines a light on how our intellect has created systems, so simplified by our own difficulty to hold multiple truths in our brains, that we might be driving our own extinction. Don’t fret, there is plenty of hope, and of people doing the right things to help us all start building in a different direction, and creating more resilient, and diverse alternatives.

So interesting and so important to understand this part of our psychology and behavior as humans. It should be required reading.

Siast. Clear, fun to listen to, it poses interesting and difficult questions and gives you enough information for you to ponder on the possible answers.

As much as I like sagas, this story felt incomplete. Fun and creative yet lacking depth. It was hard for me to feel for the character. Still it's a nice way to spend an afternoon.

A great point of view on the evils of mob mentality and a way to reflect on the part that each of us plays on the process of shaming someone without any context. A very important book for the times that we live in.

I liked it but at times it turned a little preachy. I really enjoyed the part where Piedad starts transforming into her mother's worst nightmare but I thought if she got out of it too soon, perhaps a little bit more of the darkness could've been explored. Still it might be helpful for kids in that same situation. I missed knowing a little bit more about Jackie too, And wonder what life was going to be for her in the world. Still it was entertaining and a different take on the experience of being Latino in the United States.
