DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 7 P.M. (PST) on Thursday\, April 17\, when An
 other Look presents Dino Buzzati’s 1960 The Singularity. The hybrid event w
 ill take place in Levinthal Hall at the Stanford Humanities Center at 424 S
 anta Teresa Street on the Stanford campus.\n\nThe Singularity\, originally 
 published in 1960\,  probes some of the deeper human questions surounding  
 artificial intelligence. It was republished last year in a new translation 
 by Anne Milano Appel for New York Review Books. \n\nWill Dunn\, writing in 
 The New Statesman\, called it “a stylish\, compelling little mystery” that\
 , although more than six decades old\, “predicts … with unsettling accuracy
 . Its characters are confronted by the presumptuous arrogance of men whose 
 brilliance in engineering disguises how morally and emotionally incapable t
 hey are.”\n\nPanelists will include Stanford Prof. Robert Pogue Harrison\, 
 author\, director of Another Look\, host of the radio talk show and podcast
  series Entitled Opinions\, and a regular contributor to The New York Revie
 w of Books\, and Stanford Prof. Tobias Wolff\, one of America’s leading wri
 ters and the founding director of Another Look\, as well as a recipient of 
 the National Medal of Arts.\n\nWe have two guest panelists as well: Stanfor
 d Associate Prof. Laura Wittman\, is a specialist in modern Italian literat
 ure. Some of you will remember her from our 2018 event on William Henry Hud
 son’s Green Mansions. Bryan Cheong received his Bachelor of Science from St
 anford University with a degree in applied and computational mathematics be
 fore receiving a Masters in Materials Science\, also from Stanford. For the
  past few years he's been working in the high-tech sector of Silicon Valley
 . \n\nRegister for the event here: https://stanford.zoom.us/webinar/registe
