Anyone who still thinks A.I. is a good idea for us all should probably give THE STEPFORD WIVES by Ira Levin a good read.

Crane Pond: A Novel of Salem

Happy Halloween. Excellent essay (free) at New York Review of Books. It reviews a novel, CRANE POND, by Richard Francis, regarding Salem, the witch trials of 1692, and mainly Samuel Sewall, one of the judges. But this review by Stacy Schiff is exquisite. https://bit.ly/3GNONfI
