Anthony Lane Reviews COOLER THAN COOL: The Life and Work of Elmore Leonard by C.M. Kushins in The New Yorker
“The crowning surprise of “Cooler Than Cool” is that it stirs the heart.”
“The crowning surprise of “Cooler Than Cool” is that it stirs the heart.”
“Consistently engrossing.”
“Writing for all readers as a warner, not a doomsayer, Barrat aims to dispel widespread ignorance about AI at a time of exponentially decreasing chances to control its impact on the shape of human society.”
“A welcome addition to the growing body of literature about American women artists that will also appeal to readers interested in women’s history and the history of Western European culture.”
“A gripping, unsettling critique of artificial intelligence carries a stark warning: control or be controlled.”
“This riveting page-turner by a seasoned tech journalist is packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, and masterfully elucidates the double-edged potential of humanity’s greatest gamble.”
“Written with humor in an informal, almost chatty style, this book will appeal to readers interested in history, art, and sociology.”
“Dasal brings to light a cast of talented, courageous women whose lives, and art, defied expectations; her engaging history pays homage to the singular space that nurtured them.”
“A thoroughly researched chronicle of Leonard and his literary career. Likely to be popular where Brian Jay Jones’s and Walter Isaacson’s biographies circulate well.”
