reviewed The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur by Lev Grossman

Lev Grossman: The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur (2024, Viking ) 5 stars

A modern Camelot for a world that needs it

5 stars

A really great book. A wonderful take on the classic tales and an excellent continuation of them. It is a throughly modern story in a way that updates King Arthur and the Round Table's form to make it more intriguing, insightful and relevant to our current time while it also grows the legend's soul, in the way that only the best Arthurian tales can.

Glenn McDonald: You Have Not yet Heard Your Favourite Song (2024, Canbury Press Ltd) 5 stars

The algorithm and the humans in it

5 stars

One of the easiest books to read about algorithms you'll find, chock full of insights about how music, the music industry and the world of streaming works. Perhaps the best part is that the casual fun writing is shot through with the author's music suggestions and humanity, giving the whole piece a warm friendly feel. It's also filled with potent quotes about the future we should want to build with algorithms, computers, and art. Every Spotify user should read it. Then everyone else.
