Swimming the Author
England tested witches with water. The suspect was bound, right thumb to left toe, looped to a rope, and lowered into the village pond. Pure water was believed to refuse the devil's servant, so a body that floated was guilty and a body that sank was innocent, and the innocent were hauled up half-drowned to receive the town's apology. The procedure was called swimming a witch, and its genius was architectural: it could only convict. Whatever the water did, the crowd on the bank went home with the verdict it had carried down to the shore. Four centuries on, the pond fits in a browser tab. Paste the chapter. Click the button. Let the water decide. […] -

On this final Friday of my summer break before I return to begin a new school year, I’ve got turbulent thoughts swirling in my bewildered head. I start the year #teaching #Frankenstein and will have to find a way to temper my growing urge to rant furiously about the parallels to the #AI monster the tech bros have created. But unlike in the Mary Shelley universe, we’ve allowed this monster born out of hubris to seep into our reality and destroy us from within instead. #literature #Bookstodon

To my niece, and sister,
This book, "12 Bytes," is by one of my favorite authors, Jeanette Winterson.
This book tells us where we come from.
And possibly where we are going.Her writing is, well, specific. Listen in
full every word, phrase, sentence, and
paragraph. (OK, you can skip the sex dolls article. It is disgusting.)Jeanette Winterson's sources are well researched and accurate.
Why can't a fiction writer expound on the history, great and flawed, and movement of computing. I, myself, lived through and survived, with bruises, from 1979 through 2018 to today. I think it takes the mind of a fiction writer to comprehend the competing messages.
I also recommend that you read Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" to absorb references to Mary Shelley, if you haven't already. "Frankenstein" is particularly pertinent to perspectives on AI themes.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I found a much reduced copy of Contesting Earth's History in Transatlantic Literary Culture, 1860–1935: Believers and Visionaries on the Borderlines of #Geology and #Palaeontology, published by Oxford University Press
- I was so taken with Guillermo del Toro's visual take on #Frankenstein, I bought the book on the making of the movie by Sheila O'Malley, published by Titan Books.
- I found a second-hand copy of The Spirit of System: #Lamarck and #EvolutionaryBiology, published by Harvard University Press, which should come in handy for a future review on Lamarck.#Books #Bookstodon #Paleontology #HistoryOfScience #ScienceHistory #HistSci #Evolution #Scicomm @bookstodon

Synthetic biology has taken a big step forward.
I’m generally bullish on the potential with equal measures of caution and horror. One of the many advances that is going to destabilize our world views.

"Resulta curioso cómo la metáfora de lo ajeno y lo desconocido, materializada en el monstruo, sigue vigente. Esta figura –cuyo único espacio ha sido el arte– es el recipiente por excelencia de nuestros miedos culturales; el límite que transgrede y ayuda a diferenciar lo “natural” de lo que no lo es."

The best parody movies are also tributes to the films or genres they are riffing on, which is why Young Frankenstein works so well. It was obviously made by real fans of Universal Horror and they did the extra work to make the film look and feel like a Universal monster flick.

📚 Oliver Plaschka: „Die Geister von La Spezia" – Genua 1822, Mary Shelley und eine Detektivin, die in Erinnerungen eintaucht. Eine Neudeutung der Entstehung von „Frankenstein" zwischen historischer Fiktion und spekulativer Fantastik.
Rezensent Carsten Kuhr: starke Idee, eindringliche Atmosphäre – aber anspruchsvolle Struktur.

Aim for today's evening is finishing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Considered a classic, it was somehow different from what I expected. No digging on graveyards, not even described of what Frankenstein's monster - this artificial "human" - consists. 🤔
Nevertheless, started with God Emperor of Dune yesterday. I assume this will be my next reading project.
And maybe something German too.
