Andrew Wigglesworth"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
Shakespeare's Macbeth.
I can't see where to order the book.
@emilymbender Ah, I see now ... 😄
PS. Anyone here in Britain, you can order "The AI Con" from Waterstones too.

Nina Reynolds@emilymbender @alex :0 are there DRM free epub purchase options?
Maarten Pelgrim@emilymbender @alex Best way to fight the hype is to go offline and do stuff, preferably with other people.
A.J. Fish@emilymbender @alex Congratulations you two, great book cover.
Glad to see this is out there.

I'd love to pre-order it. Will your book be available through any less capitalist outlets?
