It is said that engineers grow up to invent what science fiction they read as teenagers, i.e., Star Trek Spock's tricorder was the inspiration for the mobile phone.
The #ChatGPT is the closest thing I've ever seen to the regurgitated, recombined knowledge of the deceased, as described by Frederick Pohl in his #Heechee saga books, such as in "Heechee Rendezvous".
For, 'motoring through', read 'skipping the tedious bits'.
Weird... So I'm really flying through the #Heechee series, kind of glad I've only discovered them now since had I found them when I was within the age range that they're aimed at I'd have thrown them away in disgust.
To be fair Gateway isn't bad, but so far the rest have been a little too juvenile, so I would probably have not bothered reading much further than the second one.
As it is, with nothing better to do, other than #TheMongoliad to plough through, I'm motoring through them.
Which is my convoluted way of saying I'm currently reading the #Heechee series in MoonReader+ while also still reading #TheMongoliad in FBReader.
Just finished #Gateway in the former, actually.
