My fantastic summer of reading is continuing. I am officially done with summer school, so I started off my Monday with a morning walk and some weight lifting.
I ended last week by reading Oprah's new Book Club pick, Culpability, by Bruce Holsinger. It is worth all the hype and a five-star read for me.
I loved The Gifted School by Holsinger, but I think Culpability may be his best work yet
The Cassidy-Shaws are a family of five, riding in their autonomous minivan when they are involved in a car accident that kills a retired couple. Their seventeen-year old son, Charlie was the one behind the wheel, while Noah, his father, was in the passenger seat working on his laptop. Lorelei, Charlie's mother was also working in the backseat, and his sisters Izzy and Alice were on their phones.
Each member of this family has reasons for feeling responsible for the accident. As the story unfolds these reasons are revealed, and a relaxing week in a rental on Chesapeake Bay pushes the family to a breaking point.
Ethics and AI are a focus and this is such a timely story as we continue to rely on AI for more every day - and hear horror stories about the effect it will have on humanity.
Definitely a book club worthy selection; I'm waiting for some of my friends to read it so we can talk it over.
