Reviews

[Tara Brabazon · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a strange book. It has probably twenty intriguing sentences that are of interest and require further reflection.

But...

But...

The book is framed through Christianity and God. That's fine if you want to think about failure as God pointing you into a particular direction. That's not my interest, or perspective.

Then there is a weird final chapter that suddenly talks about Generative AI. Why? What has that got to do with the book? It is still a mystery, dear friends.

A few interesting sentences. Plenty of weirdness...
