Driven by Mason Coile – A Book Review
I have mixed feelings about Driven by Mason Coile, but one thing I can say without hesitation is that it moves. Short chapters, lean writing, and a plot that rarely slows down made this a quick read. I especially enjoyed the first third of the book. Jamie Newcross is a man whose life has steadily…

AI Is Not Better Than Us
I’m a big proponent of artificial intelligence. I use it regularly. I teach others how to use it. I believe it has enormous potential to change the way we work, learn, create, and solve problems.

We spend a lot of time worrying that artificial intelligence is going to take our jobs. But AI can’t fire anyone. People can.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones – A Book Review
Stephen Graham Jones’ The Buffalo Hunter Hunter gave me something I honestly didn’t think I needed: a completely new take on the vampire. The notion of an American Indian vampire immediately grabbed me, but Jones does far more with the idea than simply transplant Dracula into a different culture. Setting much of the story during…
