Imagine that you could ask an expert questions about a book of classic literature as you’re reading it. Have that expert help explain difficult concepts, compare your perspective on the book with theirs. Turn reading a book into a conversation. Two philosophy professors have used the wonders of artificial intelligence (AI) to make this possible at Rebind Publishing.
This new way to read the classics on an e-reader offers the
following enrichment techniques:
· Choose the classic book you want to read.
· “Prepare to read with beautifully-produced films, embedded right in the book,” along with a reading guide.
· “Converse” about the book with experts to gain deeper insight. The experts were interviewed about the book. Their opinions have been expanded and enhanced via AI to be a comprehensive, interactive, analysis of the book in “book club-style conversations.”
· Take notes while you read and write your own interpretation of the classic book, helping you to get the most out of your reading experience.
So, what can you read this new way? For right now, ten books. But more will be added to the library over time.
· Selections from Buddhism. Converse with Deepak Chopra.
· Selections from John Muir. Converse with Bill McKibben.
· Thus Spoke Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzsche. Converse with Clancy Martin.
· The Dubliners, by James Joyce. Converse with John Banville.
· Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad. Converse with Chloe Cooper Jones.
· Metamorphosis and Two Other Stories, by Franz Kafka. Converse with Deb Olin Unferth.
· Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. Converse with Sadie Stein.
· The Age of Innocence, by Edith Wharton. Converse with Roxane Gay.
· The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Converse with Peter Catapano.
· Walden, by Henry David Thoreau. Converse with John Kaag.
