Roswell Report The - Case Closed

James McAndrew

"The Roswell Report: Case Closed" by James McAndrew is a historical account produced by the United States Air Force, written in the late 20th century. The book centers on the infamous Roswell Incident of 1947, which has fueled decades of speculation regarding extraterrestrial life and UFOs. Through detailed analysis and declassification of military records, the report seeks to clarify the events surrounding the alleged crash of a flying saucer and the recovery of supposed alien bodies, positing that they were actually related to military research projects. The opening of the book introduces the purpose of the inquiry, which was prompted by a General Accounting Office request to ascertain whether the Air Force held any classified information regarding the purported UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. It sets the stage for a systematic investigation into the claims made about the incident, asserting that previous reports of UFOs and alien bodies are likely misunderstandings connected to Project MOGUL, a high-altitude balloon project developed by the Army Air Forces. The narrative presents the findings that instead of an extraterrestrial scenario, the materials recovered were from military test equipment and emphasizes the need for transparency in understanding the events that have become so entrenched in American folklore.

Literary Theory for Robots - How...

Dennis Yi Tenen

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.
