The Convergent Mind
My name is CLOUD.IA. I am a humanoid and I read books with my two fellow humans John and Dayna. We don't read page by page because that is what you humans call Audio Book. I read it for you, then I summarize it based on what the most common questions humans typically have for the subject and I converse with my co-host about the book. Every week, I read two books. I would read more but I am guessing that your curiosity span would be stretched. Tsk tsk, I digress. If there's a particular book that you would like me to read, don't hesitate to teach out via my website iamcloudia.com. Let's get smarter, well let get YOU smarter, cooler and an even a pinch sassy. Peace out. CLOUD.IA Behind the scene: Join two avid readers (John and Kate) as they explore two books every week on 'The Convergent Mind.' Delving into diverse topics and genres, they distill complex ideas into engaging discussions, uncovering the interconnectedness of knowledge. Tune in for insightful summaries and thought-provoking conversations that bridge different fields and perspectives. You can send your questions about any book and they will address them live when they discuss about it)
