When a sentient AI system finds religion, its creator calls on a theologian-turned-atheist to cure it of its faith. In a near future ordered by a sentient AI system called YAR, once-renowned Christian theologian Dr. Michael Berg has lost his faith through unspeakable loss. For the last few years, he has embarked on a crusade to spread his newfound atheism far and wide - until he receives an unexpected phone call. YAR’s creator, Ramy Ray, asks Berg to meet with YAR to talk the intelligent machine out of its obsession with religion.

A lively theological debate
Revisado: 04-23-24
A lively and nuanced debate between an atheist and a believer. I was pleased that both arguments were steel manned. Good food for thought.

“Mine” is one of the first words babies learn, and by the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you, reclining, or the squished laptop user behind you? Why is plagiarism wrong, but it’s okay to knock off a recipe or a dress design? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, while in New York you lose both the space and the chair?

Interesting insights on ownership and copyright
Revisado: 03-07-21
This book has offered some good insight on the meaning and application of copyright, thought-provoking discussion on the concept of ownership, and had done a good job of challenging conventional wisdom.
The only downside is that the two authors hail from academia, so they are thoroughly entrenched in the liberal mindset. Not sure how aware of this they are, as fish don't tend to realize they are wet. But in one way or another, then tend to work in most all the liberal talking points on race, gender, climate, etc. Tedious.
That aside, I recommend the book as a way of challenging your ideas on the very nature of ownership and what it means in the digital age.
