Critics Review
“utterly compelling and provocative, and cannot but be full of wisdom.” –Lion’s Roar
“surprising and refreshing wisdom here. It is a most interesting collaboration.” –Spirituality & Practice
“This profoundly illuminating text on where we stand in the great arc of artificial intelligence is stunningly beautiful and inspired. A touching, nuanced, and beautiful reverie of poetic collaboration.” –BT, GRAMMY®-nominated musician and technologist
“Iain S. Thomas and Jasmine Wang have striven to garner advice from a robot brain, expecting to receive mechanized platitudes–and yet these writers discover the soulfulness of a wise poet, who might someday walk beside us, perhaps even sprinting past us, on our hike up the slopes of Parnassus.” –Christian Bök, experimental poet, author of Eunoia, and Griffin Poetry Prize winner
