Y'know, it was only on reflection that I realized this was a new combo review/essay format — it felt like a natural extension of what you've already been doing. Which is to say, I like it, and lots!
This is a good format, but it's only a little bit new. That is, the delight in a good book review is when the writer (ie, you) extend and give your own informed take on the concept. This is that, perhaps just a bit moreso?
In any event using a book as a springboard is a good way to have new and relevant content.

Yeah it was only a minor change, but the union of review and essay is something where I still don't think I've got the perfect format.

Winning the AI race probably means humans go extinct, so the demographic collapse would be irrelevant.
