A little about the history of the name “TeleRead”

TeleRead goes back to the early 1990s when David Rothman wrote about a “TeleRead” proposal for a national digital library for Computerworld and then used CompuServe and the Net to distribute his proposal. TeleRead in that sense is a proposal for well-stocked national digital library systems in the United States and elsewhere. But nowadays TeleRead also means this e-book site, to which you can contribute even if you don’t believe in the cause.

A few days ago, I was in Strasbourg, designated in April 2024 the UNESCO 2024 World Book Capital City (WBCC). And that’s a fitting award, because for lovers of books and the printed word, Strasbour…

James O'Shea, former L.A. Times editor, has opened his mind up about bots. I feel the same, and here I give a few reasons why.

Could a reporter bot have been me in real life in the 1970s—or Jonathan Stone, the far more dashing investigative journalist in my novel The Solomon Scandals? And who would have made a better…

“I’ve recently been head down over the keyboard filling in the endnotes and other citations for my upcoming historical work, The Liberation of Strasbourg. It’s my first brush in forever with academic citation, and I’m not relishing the experience. Aren’t those citation requirements a headache? Could blockchains rescue us?” By Paul StJohn Mackintosh

To help people explore my Washington corruption novel, I created ScandalsBot.com with a WordPress plug-in called AI Power.

The version I’m running isn’t free but is affordable. Indie authors and small publishers might find this of interest.

Yes, my bot page reminds visitors of the negatives of AI, including hallucinations and well-worn language. Still, the ScandalsBot is factual most of the time and is wonderful for calling attention to possibilities, even if a human should verify the information.

A useful discussion provoker (on issues such as ethics in media, government, business, and law)!

I don’t speak for the ScandalsBot, and it doesn’t necessarily speak for me. That’s not what the bot is about.
