Why Read the Classics? Thanks to my son restoring an old Amazon Kindle, I have a functional ebook reader. I’m using it to read classic works of liturature. I’m revisiting a book I read in college — Paradise Lost by John Milton. It’s a dramatic retelling of the story of the Book of Genesis including
Because I work in the tech sector, I’m often asked about what I think of Pope Leo’s latest encyclical regarding artificial intelligence — Magnifica Humanitas.
