## AI overview

A July and August 2026 roundup of books read by the author, including a highlighted review of Cory Doctorow's The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI. The review describes the book's argument that the current AI rush is a bubble driven by big tech's pursuit of investor growth narratives, with investors rather than users as the primary target of the hype.
