We’re joined by Brian Nelson for a fascinating chat about his book The Great Unmaking, how storytelling relates to education, chatgGBT hallucinations, the dangers of AI and short term thinking, and the fragility of democracies. Plus – Dave confronts a neighbor, Laura meets an overly dramatic waitress, and Andrew takes kids shopping for animatronics. We also recommend: Discovery by Jack and Sue Drafahl, A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher, & Orphans of Bliss: Tales of Addiction, edited by Mark Matthews. Audiobook of the Week is The Donut Legion by Joe R. Lansdale.
