and a lot more!

From inspiring memoirs and literary fiction to gripping thrillers and fun reads for younger readers, there's something for everyone this month.

Which one are you adding to your list? 📖

Join us this month as we discuss Empire of AI by Karen Hao.

When Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she believed the company was one of the "good guys" of technology. In Empire of AI, she investigates how the race to build artificial intelligence has evolved into a global competition with profound implications for society, energy consumption, and the future of humanity.

Whether you're curious about AI, technology, ethics, or the forces shaping our world, this promises to be a fascinating discussion.
