Requests:  0 Summary:  "A visionary story of three generations of artists whose search for meaning and connection transcends the limits of life. How do we relate to - and hold - our family's past? Is it through technology? Through spirit? Art, poetry, music? Or is it through the resonances we look for in ourselves? In this book, we meet the Kurzweils, a family of creators who are preserving their history through unusual means. At the center is renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has long been saving the documents of his deceased father, Fredric, an accomplished conductor and pianist from Vienna who fled the Nazis in 1938. Once, Fred's life was saved by his art: an American benefactor, impressed by Fred's musical genius, sponsored his emigration to the United States. He escaped just one month before Kristallnacht. Now, Fred has returned. Through AI and salvaged writing, Ray is building a chatbot that writes in Fred's voice, and he enlists his daughter, cartoonist Amy Kurzweil, to help him ensure the immortality of their family's fraught inheritance. Kurzweil's deepening understanding of her family's traumatic uprooting resonates with the creative life she fights to claim in the present, as Amy and her partner, Jacob, chase jobs, and each other, across the country. Kurzweil evokes an understanding of accomplishment that centers conversation and connection, knowing and being known by others. With Kurzweil's signature humanity and humor, Artificial guides us through nuanced questions about art, memory, and technology, demonstrating that love, a process of focused attention, is what grounds a meaningful life."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.22 Ku Graphic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, AMR     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.22 Kurzweil Graphic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 709.22 Ku   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.22 Ku   Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.22 Ku   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.22 Ku   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList
