AI Aesthetics
AI plays a crucial role in the global cultural ecosystem. It recommends what we should see, listen to, read, and buy. It determines how many people will see our shared content. It helps us make aesthetic decisions when we create media. In professional cultural production, AI has already been adapted to produce movie trailers, music albums, fashion items, product and web designs, architecture, etc. In this short book, Lev Manovich offers a systematic framework to help us think about cultural uses of AI today and in the future. He challenges existing ideas and gives us new concepts for understanding media, design, and aesthetics in the AI era.

Fantasi Och Kreativitet
Den kommande människan uppnår allt med hjälp av den skapande fantasin: att orientera sig i framtidens värld och skapa ett beteende, som grundar sig på denna framtid och utgår ifrån den, är den allra viktigaste funktionen hos fantasin. Och i den mån som det pedagogiska arbetets viktigaste uppgift är att styra skolbarnets beteende så att barnet förbereder sig för denna framtid, är en utveckling och övning av barnets fantasi en av de viktigaste uppgifterna i processen att förverkliga detta mål. Formandet av en skapande personlighet som strävar mot framtiden initieras med hjälp av en skapande fantasi som tar gestalt i nuet. Med sessa ord sammanfattar Lev S Vygotskij (18961934) på ett sätt som idag fortfarande är aktuellt och uppfordrande sin syn på fanatsins betydelse för danandet av en öppen och kreativ personlighet.

The Times'Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along... Literary perfection.' Erin Morgenstern'May just be the most subversive, gripping, and enchanting fantasy novel I've read this century.' Cory Doctorow'Dark and dangerous and full of twists. Hogwarts was never like this.' George R. R. Martin'Sad, hilarious, beautiful, and essential to anyone who cares about modern fantasy.' Joe Hill'A darkly cunning story about the power of imagination itself.' The New Yorker'The Magicians ought to be required reading... a terrific, at times almost painfully perceptive novel of the fantastic.' Kelly Link'Brilliantly explores the hidden underbelly of fantasy and easy magic, taking what's simple on the surface and turning it over to show us the complicated writhing mess beneath.' Naomi Novik
The Bright Sword
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Editors' Choice The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy returns with a triumphant reimagining of the King Arthur legend for the new millennium NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, NPR, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, VANITY FAIR, TIME, OPRAH DAILY, TOWN & COUNTRY, ELLE, VOX, PASTE, LIT HUB, POLYGON, KIRKUS REVIEWS "Lev Grossman's The Bright Sword stands out as the best fantasy of the year." -The Wall Street Journal "Grossman, who is best known for his The Magicians series, is at the top of his game with The Bright Sword." -The New York Times Book Review "A thrilling new take on Arthurian legend. . . . Marvelous." -The Washington Post "If you love King Arthur as much as I do, you'll love Lev Grossman's The Bright Sword, a fresh and engrossing take on the Matter of Britain featuring a colorful cast of Round Table knights who don't often get as much story time as they deserve. The creator of The Magicians has woven another spell." -George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a place at the Round Table, only to find that he's too late. King Arthur died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table are left. The survivors aren't the heroes of legend like Lancelot or Gawain. They're the oddballs of the Round Table, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur's fool, who was knighted as a joke. They're joined by Nimue, who was Merlin's apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. But it's up to them to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance, even as God abandons Britain and the fairies and old gods return, led by Morgan le Fay. They must reclaim Excalibur and make this ruined world whole again-but first they'll have to solve the mystery of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell. The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, complete with duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It's also a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, trying to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

Mor Var Rar
»Rubinstein älskar romanfiktioner och pastischer, men är samtidigt klichédödare, utan att själv vilja slippa undan ironin. Också han är Ryssland. Även han darrar. Det här är jag.« Magnus Florin, ExpressenDen ryske poeten, essäisten och ofrivillige politiske kommentatorn Rubinstein reflekterar över sin egen dikt »Mor var rar«. Det blir en lika egensinnig som humoristisk skildring av en sovjet-judisk barndom i 1950-talets Moskva. När boken skrevs hade det nya kriget ännu inte brutit ut -- trots att man i ryska medier redan tycktes fira segern. Detta sabelskrammel och denna förkrigsmentalitet präglar bokens litterära minnesarbete och utgör klangbotten i kritiken av samtidens aggressiva militarism.
