About Selections from John Muir

1911 - 1916

Selections from John Muir is a compilation of two of John Muir's most influential books. Here's a short introduction of each one:

A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf chronicles Muir's transformative journey through the American South in 1867. Armed with little more than a journal and a plant press, Muir traveled on foot from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, immersing himself in the landscapes, flora, and fauna of post-Civil War America. His keen observations capture both the breathtaking beauty and the ecological devastation he encountered, offering early warnings about the consequences of deforestation and human impact on the environment.

My First Summer in the Sierra recounts his time in California's Yosemite Valley during the summer of 1869, an experience that solidified his role as a champion of wilderness preservation. His vivid prose captures the grandeur of the Sierra Nevada and reflects his spiritual reverence for nature, portraying the wilderness as a divine sanctuary. Often considered one of his most celebrated works, this book invites readers to share in Muir's awe and serves as a compelling call to protect the natural world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
