Dove into this one on ai and didn’t regret it. Pretty fun. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. Nice little break from heavier stuff.

Seriously, this book made my day. Especially since it focused on ai. Delightful. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. Give it a try—you might just love it too!
