Description
How does a naive, spoiled, pretentious Lutheran minister’s son come to be Professor Hardcore? Worsening post-polio scoliosis (up to 110 degrees) and the manifold responsibilities of an English professor/outdoor educator married with two children are the physical challenges. But these are nothing compared to the slow learning curve of this escapist dreamer. His story has a meta-dystopian framing with three narrators, each with his own font color. His chief editor, Overton, is an android with learning capabilities. His AI learning curve mirrors the subject’s and addresses the threat of climate change, of nuclear holocaust, of reoccurring pandemics, and of out-of-control artificial intelligence. If you are not entirely happy with the role of AI in your life, you need to read this. Volume 1 treats his ancestry through graduate school.
Volume 4 has two parts; Part IX. Becoming Hardcore (1996-2002) and Part X. Flip the AT (2002-2004)
