Some prominent literary titles of the 1970s by DeLillo, Stone and Pynchon on Steven Levy’s shelf during a recent discussion about chatbots with @WalterIsaacson. @StevenLevy

#ModernFirsts
1/2
Spotted:

RATNER’S STAR; Don DeLillo (1976), next to MAO II (1991)

DOG SOLDIERS; Robert Stone (1974)

GRAVITY’S RAINBOW; Thomas Pynchon (1973)

(I won’t be surprised to see an AI chatbot eventually master this skill.)

@StevenLevy 2/2
Another possible ‘70s title on the same shelf as DeLillo and Stone:

SOMETHING HAPPENED; Joseph Heller (1974)

Though this is more a long shot.
