At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again. I should not obtrude my affairs so much on the notice of my readers if very particular inquiries had not been made by my townsmen concerning my mode of life, which some would call impertinent, though they do not appear to me at all impertinent, but, considering the circumstances, very natural and pertinent.
This passage is from Walden.
Now, I am once again living in civilization. I wouldn't bother my readers with my personal matters if my neighbors hadn't asked very specific questions about how I live. Some might call these questions nosy, but given the situation, I find them quite normal and relevant.
This passage is from Walden.
What People Are Saying About Rebind
I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra on Rebind, and it's magical. It's suddenly difficult to imagine reading without having this ongoing discussion where I can ask a hundred questions.
Nishant
Rebind Reader
I am suddenly seeing what I was missing, marveling at the explosive possibility of interacting in these discussions. I didn't realize how organic the interactions can be. I only had to make one comment, read the response and then follow up, and all of a sudden I was learning unexpected things.
William
Rebind Reader
This is the most creative and interesting book-related AI tech I’ve seen so far, and I’m happy to see big-name authors leading by example with their openness to exploring generative uses of this technology.
Rebecca Joines Schinsky
Chief of Staff at Book Riot
There are a collection of books that are a little intimidating because I never approached them or spent time with them. Having this guided experienced with great context through video and an AI personality to chat with really helps with that.
Tyler
Rebind Reader
I felt like this was the best parts of a literature course, where you get the knowledge of someone who has really studied the text without the drain of having to write a paper at the end. For me, this is really kind of perfect.
Anne
Rebinder Reader
Rebind’s use of AI to honor and preserve classic literature —and facilitate our appreciation of reading these quintessential texts with personalized analysis—seems like a worthwhile exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rebind is an e-reading experience like no other. Rebind makes it possible to read a great book with the most remarkable person you could imagine reading with. As you read with Rebind, you will get to watch films that orient and prepare you for the reading journey ahead. And, more radically, you’ll experience book club-style conversations infused with original Rebinder commentary—passionate experts, guides, and companions—at pivotal moments of the book.
Think of Rebind like a mindfulness app for deep reading, guided by the world’s most interesting people. Rebind challenges you to engage with a book in a whole new way.
Rebind records original commentary and then uses AI to distribute that commentary into interactive conversations with readers in our e-reading web experience. Think of it as AI-chat infused with original, expert content. Rebind uses AI to find the intersection between your own reading of a text and the commentator’s deeply personal interpretations (“Rebinder”) for a more authentic AI experience that sounds nothing like you’ve ever heard before.
Whether your goal is to reduce stress, improve memory, become more emotionally intelligent, or regain focus, reading has always had a myriad list of incredible benefits for us.
Rebind is the antidote to the superficial reading we all find ourselves inundated with. We all know what it’s like to read a book while absorbing very little of it and, on the other hand, we know the feeling of connecting to a great book and absorbing the richness of each every word. Rebind is all about facilitating the latter. When you read deeper, ask questions, and write down your own thoughts, a book will be written on your heart the rest of your life.
Rebinders help you find or recapture the joy of reading. These commentators are among the most talented and influential voices in the world. Rebinders are authors, actors, educators, and philosophers—united by a passion for books and a commitment to sharing their favorites with you.
Prepare to read each section by viewing original films from the Rebinder enriched with personal anecdotes, historical context, and reflections. Then, take time to read, highlight and react to passages you love or confuse you. At the end of each section you’ll enter into an AI discussion with the Rebinder’s commentary that they’ve provided for that specific section. Think of it as bouncing your own ideas off those of the Rebinder, being spurred on by the Rebinder’s deep insights to write about where the book connects or departs from your own personal beliefs and experiences.
Pre-ordering is a way for you to be one of the first users to get access to our book experiences. In addition to limited-time pre-order bundles for discount, new customers will be invited to an online "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) event with our founders.
