A book podcast to help you find your next mind-blowing book.

A Czech sci-fi classic from 1920 that is the origin of the word "robot". This episode has been a long time coming and I am very happy that it worked out to have Rudolf Rosa a researcher in computational linguistics as a guest. Rudolf is is also behind project "Robot writes a play" that was a special occasion to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the book R.U.R by using machine learning and large language models to write a theater play, this time about people by a robots. Join us on this episode to discuss the story of Rossum's Universal Robots, what really is the difference between people and robots and what does it mean to have a soul.

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

I heard a lot about this writer and book since I live in Japan. I have been putting it of for a while now and finally decided to reluctantly read it as I don't read detective stories very often. So needless to say I didn't expect much. Not only did it surpass my expectation but I have to admin that it might be one of the most compelling detective stories I have ever read. It warms my heart when the "classic" lives up to it's reputation. Highly recommended, check out our discussion about it on episode 71 of the Mind Duck Books podcast:

Ep. 64 Dune Messiah

One of the best sequels ever I dare to say. We love Dune not because of the first book but because of the series as a whole. Dune Messiah is definitely a big reason for that.

I was really curious and excited about this book and I hate to say that it is very disappointing. I wish there we more creative ideas and the book lived up to it's premise which is releasing a demon upon reading it. Just for the novelty of the premise it was worth reading it for me. however, it really underdelivers and there isn't much going for it. check out our discussion about it on the Mind Duck Books podcast ep. 62: https://bit.ly/3SLINw3

Saturnin is a classic Czech comedy from the 1940s that is delightfully easy to read has something to say and is genuinely funny at parts. It was great to re-read it, I'd still recommend it today if you want to try something different and relaxing.

Seeing the movie a looong time ago I have finally found time to read the book. I was really worried going into it, because this book is almost too famous for it's own good. I was worried that it might be boring, without characters and really dry without really explaining anything. While it is true that the AI is a better character than any of the human character and it is very dry, it does explain everything clearly and gives you a lot to think about. So in the end, I had a great time with it. This is what book and Arthur c. Clarke can do really well. Ask big questions and really make you think. I would really recommend it especially if you always wondered about what actually happened the movie.
