The Expedition.
Shepherd is a community of 12,000+ authors and super readers sharing their favorite books with the world.
I love books that reimagine a story that is well known, challenging reader's assumptions about the characters or the circumstances they find themselves in, while also standing on its own for readers that haven't read the inspiration. JAMES brings Huck Finn's companion to life, giving him wit, intelligence, and agency. I read it twice, back-to-back. Easily my favorite read of 2025!

This is a smart book presenting concerns many of us have about the ethics of artificial intelligence.
