    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.

    As Four Thousand Hooks opens, an Alaskan fishing schooner is sinking. It is the summer of 1972, and the sixteen-year-old narrator is at the helm. Backtracking from the gripping prologue, Dean Adams describes how he came to be a crew member on the Grant and weaves a tale of adventure that is like a novel—with drama, conflict, and resonant portrayals of halibut fishing, his ragtag shipmates, maritime Alaska, and the ambiguities of family life. 
 
 
 
At sea, the Grant's crew teach Dean the daily tasks of baiting thousands of longline hooks and handling the catch, and on shore they lead him through the seedy bars and guilty pleasures of Kodiak. Exhausted by twenty-hour workdays and awed by the ocean's raw power, he observes examples of human courage and vulnerability and emerges with a deeper knowledge of himself and the world. 
 
 
 
Four Thousand Hooks is both an absorbing adventure story and a rich ethnography of a way of life and work that has sustained Northwest families for generations. This coming of age story will appeal to listeners including young adults and anyone interested in ocean adventures, commercial fishing, maritime life, and the Northwest coast.

    At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. 
  
In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources. Rather than overexploiting resources for short-term gain, sustainable practices aim to maintain or restore the natural balance, ensuring that the resources will continue to be available and capable of supporting life in the future. 
  
Economically, sustainability promotes the efficient use of resources to create systems that are resilient and able to support long-term prosperity. It encourages businesses and industries to integrate environmental and social considerations into their financial strategies. By focusing on long-term gains instead of short-term profits, sustainable economic practices seek to create an economy that can thrive without causing harm to the environment or society. This often involves adopting technologies and methods that reduce costs and create value without depleting resources or harming ecosystems.
