About Peter Catapano

AWARD-WINNING EDITOR, AUTHOR, EDUCATOR, REBINDER

Peter Catapano is an award-winning editor, author, and educator who has edited and published more than one thousand pieces in The New York Times. He is the founding editor of The Times’ philosophy series The Stone, which ran for more than a decade in The New York Times’ Opinion section, drawing millions of readers each year.

Catapano first encountered The Great Gatsby in his sophomore year of high school, around the time when he was first falling in love. Catapano now credits The Great Gatsby as the book that initially got him excited about reading and writing.

The Great Gatsby might be a “Great American Novel,” but Catapano wants you to forget all that and read the book on your own terms. He promises to share everything he finds wonderful about it with you in his guided tour of the book, exclusively on Rebind.

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.
