Bruce Holsinger: "Culpability" | Oprah's Book Club

Описание: Subscribe:    / @oprah  

This episode of Oprah’s Book Club: Presented by Starbucks features coffee and conversation with award-winning author, Bruce Holsinger, in a café in Seattle, Starbucks’ hometown. Chosen as the 116th Oprah’s Book Club selection, Holsinger’s brand-new scorching summer read, called Culpability, is an intense page-turner about a family that survives a crash in an autonomous car only to ask the question: who was at fault? Was it the teenage son who was texting in the driver’s seat, the distracted parents, or the car itself? The book that Oprah calls “a modern tale of our times” also touches on our current and fast-approaching future of living with artificial intelligence including chatbots, self-driving cars, drones, and other non-human forces shaping our lives. Oprah and Holsinger are joined by an audience of readers as they enjoy a Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino® drink and talk through many thought-provoking questions about the book.
