Starred review for @helainebecker.bsky.social from School Library Journal for her new children's book "Smart Machines: How AI is Changing Our World"!
"The author excels at making complex concepts accessible through clear explanations and effective visual aids that support diverse learning styles."
Coming soon to your fave bookseller!
Yes, for chlldren.
Adults need to know too.
Pfft.
Who does cancelling it serve? And what do you hope to achieve when you do it? We need vibrant literary venues that spark discussion and book sales. So yes, I DID offer EM a session on SMART MACHINES, discussing AI pros and cons. You should come hear me speak. I know my shit & am funny as hell.
Every literary festival is needed. I don’t cut friends - or festivals - off when they make a mistake, withdraw the oops + apologise. Who does cancelling it serve? And what do you hope to achieve when you do it? We need vibrant literary venues that spark discussion and book sales.
Yes. In great detail.
I am not sure refusing to support Eden Mills is the best option for creators. We might inadvertently kill the festival, and we need more place for writers, not fewer.
I am proposing they invite people who know about AI, and authors like me who have written nf about it
Woohoo! Given that the aholes over at meta wont let us post the libk to the interview, please share widely!!! And buy the books. Be kind to your fine feathered friends!
Go Robin!!!
