Il grande libro della fantasia
Il grande libro della fantasia di Massimo Gerardo Carrese rappresenta un esercizio finora irrealizzato: fare dei processi creativi una storia da raccontare e una scienza da applicare. Dai Dialoghi di Platone alle opere di Bruno Munari, fino alle sfide dell'intelligenza artificiale, una materia incontenibile come la fantasia si dispiega cominciando con lo studio dei primi sguardi sul mondo e terminando con le tecnologie che annullano i confini tra realtà e finzione. Si rivela così un gioco lungo millenni le cui regole restano perlopiù misteriose. Carrese ci permette di scoprire, inoltre, i segreti e le differenze che intercorrono tra fantasia, immaginazione e creatività: i processi biolog...
L'intelligenza del futuro
La crescente diffusione di programmi come ChatGPT sta sollevando profondi interrogativi sull'impatto che l'intelligenza artificiale avrà sulle nostre vite. Come cambierà il mondo del lavoro? I sistemi generativi prenderanno il sopravvento sulla nostra creatività? Esiste il rischio che le macchine si ribellino ai loro creatori? Ci innamoreremo mai di un robot? In questo saggio, lo psicologo e scienziato cognitivo Paolo Legrenzi analizza l'intreccio tra l'intelligenza umana e i nuovi programmi che essa ha generato. Comprendere appieno l'IA richiede innanzitutto una profonda conoscenza dell'intelligenza naturale: è solo illuminando i misteri della nostra mente che possiamo apprezzare appien...

We Were Werewolves
Poetry. "WE WERE WEREWOLVES uses constraints to open up the English language to deeper and darker humours than any your basic run-of-the-mill prosaic verse can begin to imagine. The insistent permutations of alphabetical sounds, the severe word love run through film noir-based tonalities, & the small-to-epic scale of reordering found in so many of these Nuferian arrangements lay bare a gleeful prosody of the nervous system. Pleasure level herein: mighty high"--Anselm Berrigan.
The Me Theme
Poetry. In this dazzling cycle of poems, Doug Nufer, wizardly author of poetry and prose works based on formal constraints, starts with a simple constructive rule, exemplified by its title: present a sequence of letters, grouped into a word or words; follow it by the same sequence, differently grouped; repeat. This foundational principle, ruthless in its purity, gives rise, like a jazzy passacaglia, to the most diverse forms, whose endless variations murder and reproduce like cellular automata creeping across the page. In the mind and ear of the reader, meanings, rhythms and sounds burst into dizzying presence and are swept away with ebullient panache. Nufer's art here is a high-energy high-...
La Boutique Obscure
The beguiling, never-before-translated dream diary of Georges Perec In La Boutique Obscure Perec once again revolutionized literary form, creating the world’s first “nocturnal autobiography.” From 1968 until 1972—the period when he wrote his most well-known works—the beloved French stylist recorded his dreams. But as you might expect, his approach was far from orthodox. Avoiding the hazy psychoanalysis of most dream journals, he challenged himself to translate his visions and subconscious churnings directly into prose. In laying down the nonsensical leaps of the imagination, he finds new ways to express the texture and ambiguity of dreams—those qualities that prove so elusive. Beyond capturing a universal experience for the first time and being a fine document of literary invention, La Boutique Obscure contains the seeds of some of Perec’s most famous books. It is also an intimate portrait of one of the great innovators of modern literature.
