N. Katherine Hayles: How We Became Posthuman (1999)

I really like where the conclusion ended up—so much so that I wish the rest of the book had woven the idea of "distributed cognition" in more fully. I've got a few other critiques, but overall I think this is a really valuable book for thinking about information and for thinking about how we might use tools like AI.

José María Merino, Universidad de Salamanca: El oro de los sueños (Paperback, Español Santillana-USAL) No rating

Leer en español nivel 4 / Reading level 4 adaptation. Comes with an audio CD.

I read this for my second-year Spanish courses and was surprised by how much enjoyed it. There's more sensitivity to indigenous / colonial topics than I expected… although I admit that my bar was on the floor regarding those. I'd be interested to eventually read the original, un-adapted novel—and well as to learn whether this influenced the 1980s/1990s cartoon I vaguely remembered titled something like "City of Gold" that might have been on Nickelodeon.
