Religion! Psychedelics! History! Genetics! Yoga! Frank Herbert drew upon a multitude of sources to create his masterpiece. Out on Oct 3 from The Quarto Group, THE WORLDS OF DUNE offers a fully illustrated guide to one of the most complex and thrilling worlds in literature.

The illustrations are a great feature to include! Looking forward to the book, Tom Huddleston

.Tim Gibson leans on science fiction & cultural history to contextualize his presentation on the opportunities and threats of AI and the New Creative Revolution. All of us in the creative industries have much to consider in this rapidly evolving landscape. #AI #AIart

Looking forward to more science fiction out of New Zealand 🙂

An inspiring session Auckland Writers Festival on Pasifika publishers and what sets them apart from mainstream: care, warmth, good feedback, and culture. Glad to see Dahlia Malaeulu thriving and hear readings incl from Gina Cole whom I’ve recently read! #AWF23

Let’s hope the age of disposable assignments is coming to an end. “An education system that depends on summative written assessment to grade student abilities may have reached its apotheosis.”

A long time ago in a manuscript far, far away… Seeing as #Ahsoka lands on Disney today: presenting a bunch of medieval illustrated characters as creatures from #StarWars, a thread 🧵 Yoda, from the Smithfield Decretals, c.1300-1340

I would not have expected GPT-4 to take "lets play a game based on the instruction manual for an IKEA Billy Bookcase. Make it fun. Give me three choices and wait for me" ...in such an unexpected direction.

Scandals, hot takes, regrets, and reflections. Whatever you think of the 1984 #Dune film, don't miss this engaging story about its production! Check out my review of Max Evry’s "A Masterpiece In Disarray: David Lynch's Dune. An Oral History" by 1984 Publishing dunescholar.com/2023/09/20/rev…

Another new #Dune book alert! Ryan Britt (He/Him)'s "The Spice Must Flow: The Story of Dune, from Cult Novels to Visionary Sci-Fi Movies" from Dutton Books is an engaging, entertaining history of Dune ~and~ acknowledges women's influence! 😊 Check out my review: dunescholar.com/2023/09/26/rev…

Aw thanks, Ryan. 🥰

What does it mean to develop AI literacy or skills? Where do we start? As someone who likes structure, I’ve developed an AI Literacy Framework by taking the UNESCO Digital Literacy Global Framework and mapping AI skills onto it. PDF version on my blog: kennedyhq.com/wp/2023/12/21/…

Good news alert! There is a Bi-partisan effort by Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) and Larry Bucshon, MD (R) to introduce #AILiteracy into the existing Digital Literacy framework. Call your reps and let them know how you feel about this (good, we hope!) Graphic by Dr Kara Kennedy (great work!)

I'm excited to have my next book releasing in a month, exploring the screen adaptations of the science fiction classic Dune. Preorder is available for the ebook version; paperback releases on February 5! 📕💙 amzn.to/47nF1Nq

Check out Max Evry’s WIRED article on the unearthed David Lynch Dune Messiah script! It was perfect timing while finishing my research on the Dune 1984 film. Lynch would have loved showing the Tleilaxu. 👻

It's great to see thoughtful discussions about AI Literacy happening around the world. Implementation is going to take collective effort.

I’m excited to be speaking at the virtual #SequoiaCon on February 29 – March 1 about AI literacy and how educators can use my AI Literacy Framework in the classroom. Find out more via Evergreen AI and bit.ly/sequoiacon
