    It hits very differently in 2026 with people outsourcing their thinking to AI

  Reminds me of the Butlerian Jihad in Dune and how the anti-ai revolt led to the rise of human thinking machines. They're the ones that roll back their eyes in the movies when they're calculating.

  Epub version is 170mb — is there an easy way to compress or download in a format I can send to an e-reader?

  Would like to know the thoughts of others around this book who are looking at this in 2026 vs 2009.
