“This book is a rare gem that captures the extraordinary nature of Gregory Bateson’s mind in action. Teaching is an art, often only really seen when witnessing master teachers in action. These lectures provide that opportunity, as Q&As between Bateson and his students evolve into profound performances of communication and transformations of self-understanding.For anyone who thinks human teachers are going to be made obsolete by AI, here is a book that suggests they have never really seen human teaching.”Zak Stein, writer, futurist and educator
