And I think that history should inform the work we do today. And then the last book is definitely an unusual one, but I think is vital. And that's A Swim in the Pond in the Rain by George Saunders. And he's this great essayist and short story writer and novel writer. And he teaches Russian literature.

And he's this great essayist and short story writer and novel writer. And he teaches Russian literature.

And he, in this book, takes seven Russian literature short stories and gives a literary interpretation of them. And what strikes me about this book is fundamentally the most human endeavor I can think of. He's taking great human short stories and he's giving a modern interpretation of what those stories mean.

And I think when we talk about the kinds of cognitive tasks that are a long way off for machines, I kind of at some level hope this is one of them, that there is something fundamentally human that we alone can do. I'm not sure if that's true, but I hope it's true.
