AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another

AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot

to learn more. Ever walked by a shelf in your local bookstore full of books wrapped in brown paper?

They are blind dates with books, where you buy a book without

knowing the title, the cover, or the author, and it's a great way to discover new books

you might never have picked for yourself. We're giving away five blind dates with books.

Executive editor Amanda Nelson will take a trip to her local indie in Richmond, called

Chop Sui, and pick five at random off their shelves

slash blind date and sign up for our upcoming Read This Book newsletter, where we will send you a single

solitary book recommendation once per week.

That's bookriot.com slash blind date to enter, or go see if your local indie

participates with their own blind date shelves.

This is the Get Booked podcast, a weekly show for personalized reading recommendations.

This is episode 202, and we are recording on October 8th.

that's how it goes. My children were, it was raining the other day and the boys were asking if they could go play outside in the rain. And of course, as a grumpy mother, I was like, no, you can't play outside in the rain. You'll get sick. And my kid, who they're both ate was like, mom, that's not how science works.
