Well, related to the AI theme...

Former Lexington resident Noah Wagner <http://www.noahwagner.com>, now
living in LA, who I met at the recent 45th annual Boston Science Fiction
Film Festival <https://www.instagram.com/p/B8a_EHJhjZU/>, has new SF short
film about AI: WATCH ROOM
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th5uJNB7VU8&feature=youtu.be>. [Also met
the sponsoring folks from the new DUST channel (specializing in SF material
that cannot find regular mass distribution channels).]

On the flip side, this book was written a long time ago (and involves a
futuristic Boston):

A mountaineering friend of mine recently climbed Second Kaweah
<https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=2806>.  Not sure what happened to
the first one, other than the current lack of the Kaweah Colony
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaweah_Colony> and Looking Backward
apparently influenced that colony (so who thought influencers are just a
modern thing?).  Book had some funny bits about Boston, where we still
don't have rain covers over the sidewalks, luckily for some poets ;-> Rain
