  Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking listeners on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories, and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. 
   
   
   
  Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. 
   
   
   
  With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.

  You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
  You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
  Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.

  You walk outside on a clear night, look up, and see a scatter of bright dots you can't name. You know there are constellations up there, maybe a planet, maybe the Milky Way, but nothing on the sky comes labeled.
  
  This beginner's course in astronomy and stargazing gives you the sky one piece at a time, in plain language and with no equipment beyond your own eyes or an inexpensive pair of binoculars. You'll learn how the sky turns through the night and the seasons, how to trace the anchor constellations and hop from them to fainter ones, how to tell a steady planet from a twinkling star, why the Moon changes shape on a schedule you can predict, and what the Milky Way's faint band actually is. Each object comes with its story too, so recognition turns into real understanding.
  
  By the end you can step into your own backyard, point, and say what you're looking at. Press play, then go outside and look up.
