NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey has chosen a novel with a well timed theme for her newest guide membership choose. Bruce Holsinger’s “Culpability” is a household drama that probes the morals and ethics of AI.
“I appreciated the prescience of this story,” Winfrey mentioned in an announcement Tuesday, the day of the novel’s publication. “It’s where we are right now in our appreciation and dilemmas surrounding Artificial Intelligence, centered around an American family we can relate to. I was riveted until the very last shocking sentence!”
Holsinger, a professor of English on the College of Virginia, is the writer of 4 earlier novels and a number of other works of nonfiction. He mentioned in an announcement that he had admired Winfrey’s guide membership since its founding in 1996.
“Oprah Winfrey started her book club the same year I finished graduate school,” Holsinger mentioned. “For nearly 30 years, as I’ve taught great books to college students in the classroom and the lecture hall, she has shared great books with the world. Her phone call was like a thunderbolt, and I’ll never forget it. I am deeply honored and profoundly grateful that she found ‘Culpability’ worthy of her time, praise, and recognition.”
Tuesday’s announcement continues Winfrey’s guide membership partnership with Starbucks. Her interview with Holsinger, held not too long ago at a Starbucks in Seattle, might be seen on Winfrey’s YouTube channel or by way of different podcast shops.
