A review by rksutt
The Human Condition: Second Edition by Hannah Arendt

A profound and generative book. Arendt, writing in the mid-twentieth century was already anticipating the issues of automation and AI that are growing concerns. This is a book that helps show how those realities are born from antecedents long in the past. While sharp in her analysis, Arendt also offers a glimmer of hope that human action and thought, though in danger, are still possible sources of reversal and renewal. The forward by Danielle Allen is worth reading for its own sake. I'll be reading more of her work, as well as more Arendt soon.
