An astoundingly good novel. Well-researched, well told, and well-narrated in audio. I had a slightly harder time getting into the spider timeline—I kept waiting to get back to the human one—but in the end I was engaged by that one too, and of course deeply impressed by the sheer power of the author's informed imagination in creating this entirely new species, tracing its rapid evolution, and giving us its point of view in an entirely plausible way. But the human story is even more amazing, in my view, in part because of the way it uses time. Highly recommended!

“ChatGPT for Java” is a great way to learn about using ChatGPT in general and accessing Java APIs. It's a relatively short book (225 pages), but the pages are narrower than your traditional tech book. This is great for carrying the book around with you. It's not so great for reading code or looking at tables. I felt like there was a lot of wasted space in the tables and the description column would be 4-5 words long. There was also 2.5 pages of a bulleted list that I was wondering why it wasn't two columns. None of this takes away from the content of course.
Early on the book explains how prompts work with a great example. The author compares to regular expressions. I do have to comment re page 6's “I'm thoroughly convinced that every programmer somewhere in their lifetime has met *some guy* who happens to be…
