Her twin sister, Maya, goes to Wisconsin anyway - into the messy, inefficient, irreplaceable world of dorm rooms and bad lectures and people who change your mind. Jesse, who never had the money to leave eastern Kentucky, learns electrical work and climate science from a screen at 2 a.m. and starts putting solar panels on the same ridges the coal companies hollowed out. And Priya turns her self-education into a following - until the following starts to feel like the only thing she's actually learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver four years, the four of them discover everything an artificial intelligence can give them, and everything it can't. Knowledge has never been cheaper or more abundant.
