BoMay reviewed AI Valley by Gary Rivlin
A General Overview of the History of AI
2 stars
Not a book I would have read if not given by my Dad. The first half covering the early history of AI is fine and I learned a bit. The second half covers the period since the current actors got their start and is really little more than access journalism with all its flaws. Never more than tepid criticism of some awful people while coverage of others borders on hagiography.

BoMay reviewed The Dagger in Vichy by Alastair Reynolds
Intrigue in Far Future France
4 stars
A novella of intrigue among a group of traveling actors. The setting is what is now France but perhaps 800 years in the future in a world that has mostly reverted to 19th century technology but with remnants of much more advanced tech. A fun read.
