Episode 15: Galatea 2.2 by Richard Powers We’re back on campus with our second installment of the Broken Spine Social Club podcast Campus Novel series. Today, we discuss Richard Power’s 1995 ‘Galatea 2.2’, an eerily prescient psuedo-autobiographical novel about learning, human connection and of course, artificial intelligence. What is consciousness, how does Powers’s (maybe??) self-aware software system compare to Chat GPT, where is meaning made and more on today’s deep dive into the world of ‘Galatea 2.2’!
