Our take
AI-draftedO'Gieblyn's background as a lapsed evangelical turns out to be the sharpest tool in the book: she recognizes religious thinking when it resurfaces disguised as tech optimism, and she's precise about how much of our language for AI and consciousness is really recycled theology. The book resists easy categorization, moving between memoir, intellectual history, and criticism. Her point that we keep re-enchanting a world we've supposedly disenchanted is more observation than argument, and the book is stronger at diagnosis than resolution.
