In Japan, that dream is becoming a reality, as the author Soseki Natsume, who died a century ago, prepares to enjoy a second coming: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-3639819\/Japan-set-reanimate-novelist-Soseki-Natsume-ROBOT.html\" target=\"_blank\">Soseki Natsume is being re-created as an android by Nishogakusha University Graduate School, and will be programmed to read material out loud and give lectures<\/a>. Created in a sitting posture, the robot will be 130 centimeters high and built using 3D scans of a death mask and vintage photos \u2026 The robot\u2019s voice will be created after analyzing the voice of his grandson, Prof. Fusanosuke Natsume of Gakushuin University. Fusanosuke Natsume said, \u2018Since [Soseki is] a human being, it is better that he is smiling.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tall orders for graphic designers: in 1967, Larry Ratzkin was tasked with designing the jacket for Stokely Carmichael and Charles V. Hamilton\u2019s <em>Black Power<\/em>, meaning his assignment was essentially to turn a whole political movement into a book cover. And he succeeded, as Josh MacPhee writes: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.printmag.com\/design-culture-2\/culturally-related-design\/power-fists-guns-books\/\" target=\"_blank\">The cover was simple yet profound: a white field, the center crowded\u2014almost to exploding\u2014with the giant words <em>Black Power<\/em> in a thick, slab-serifed type<\/a>. The authors\u2019 names and book subtitle stack above and below, in a more elegant, thin sans-serif. That\u2019s it. No images, no frills \u2026 The cover to <em>Black Power<\/em> is surprisingly successful, such a simple treatment\u2014almost elegant\u2014for a text that caused massive conflict and defines the transition from the non-violent Civil Rights Movement to the much more militant Black Power Movement in the United States. The initial 1967 Random House first-edition dust jacket was created by Larry Ratzkin, a well-known graphic designer who turned out upwards of a thousand book covers \u2026 All U.S. editions of <em>Black Power<\/em> in the almost fifty years since its initial publishing \u2026 have used facsimile re-creations of Ratzkin\u2019s original design \u2026 This has to be the most seen and trafficked cover of Ratzkin\u2019s long career, yet it is never associated with him.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Two hundred years ago, Mount Tambora belched a massive cloud of volcanic ash into the sky and ruined everyone\u2019s summer, so much so that they called it the \u201cYear Without Summer.\u201d Perhaps not unrelatedly, Mary Shelley began work on <em>Frankenstein<\/em>: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/publicdomainreview.org\/2016\/06\/15\/frankenstein-the-baroness-and-the-climate-refugees-of-1816\/\" target=\"_blank\">Our too-easy version of <em>Frankenstein<\/em>\u2014oh, it\u2019s all about technology and scientific hubris, or about industrialization\u2014ignores completely the humanitarian climate disaster unfolding around Mary Shelley as she began drafting the novel<\/a>. Starving, skeletal climate refugees in the tens of thousands roamed the highways of Europe, within a few miles of where she and her ego-charged friends were driving each other to literary distraction. Moreover, landlocked Alpine Switzerland was the worst hit region in all of Europe, producing scenes of social-ecological breakdown rarely witnessed since the hellscape of the Black Death.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>London\u2019s Foundling Museum is hosting an exhibition called \u201cFOUND.\u201d It\u2019s about finding things, which, at the risk of being obvious, tends to involve losing them first: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/06\/14\/foundling-museum-art-of-the-abandoned\/\" target=\"_blank\">Some found materials have been made into complete works, like the African textiles from Portobello Market that have inspired much of Yinka Shonibare\u2019s art, including the <em>Trumpet Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0&#8230;\u00a0Or Polly Apfelbaum\u2019s string of wishbones, graded from small to large, \u2018electroplated like baby-shoes\u2019 in copper\u2014a string of good luck. But there\u2019s bad luck here too, like the chain of pawnbroker\u2019s tickets that Ron Arad found in London early 1970s. All are dated 1951, the year of his own birth, and many are marked \u2018GWR\u2019\u2014gold wedding ring. Finding can provoke a shiver, a sadness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Zadie Smith introduces one of her favorite new writers, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elleuk.com\/life-and-culture\/culture\/articles\/a30848\/zadie-smith-introduces-rachel-kaadzi-hhansah\/\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019m sure she is coolly skeptical of the phrase <em>black-girl magic<\/em> \u2026 but some version of that is what Rachel brings to me. I was very affected when I was a kid by a phrase of novelist Zora Neale Hurston\u2019s, \u2018The black woman is the mule of the world.\u2019<\/a> This is not the only truth about us, and Zora is proof of that: despite all the difficulties, she lived her life with verve, purpose and joy. Rachel\u2019s got some of the Zora energy; she walks into a room and it\u2019s a kind of event. I\u2019ve learned from Rachel that black culture is a house with a thousand rooms, with windows looking out on so many views. Her writing is like a high-wire act: Can she pull it off? Are these swirling ideas going to cohere? But they do. I admire her bravery, boldness and attention to the craft.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s something we all dream of\u2014that our favorite deceased writers will someday roam the earth again as robots.
