Pre-order: Full access to AItheneum
dcastRead nothing from the past one hundred years; eat no fruits from the past one thousand years; drink nothing from the past four thousand years (just wine and water); but talk to no ordinary man over forty. A man without a heroic bent starts dying at the age of thirty.

So, you're one of those Lindy effect believers, huh?
You think that the classics are the best books to read because they have stood the test of time.
But the second you pick up a classic book, you realize that it's not as easy to read as you thought it would be. The language is too old, the sentences are too long, and the ideas are too complex.
You're not alone.
Even Tim Ferriss has faced the same issue. Whenever he recommends Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, he mentions that you should pick up the version by Gregory Hays, because it makes "the difference between liking it and hating it."
But with thousands of classic books out there, you will quickly find that there are no Gregory Hays for most of them.
That's why I decided to create this project. I want to use AI to make classic books more accessible.
AItheneum is a collection of classic books enhanced with AI to make them easier to read and understand.
Right now, I've only added a few sections of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche, but I plan to finish that in a couple of days and add more books in the coming weeks.
What do you get if you buy it?
- Life-long access to AItheneum. You will be able to read all the books that I add in the future.
- Access to the AItheneum community. You will be able to ask questions and discuss the books with other members.
- Unlimited use of the Lite version of explain and limited (TBD) uses of the Pro version of explain.
That's it. No upsells, no hidden fees, and no recurring payments.
The regular price will be $89.99 after the official release. But because this is a work in progress, I'm offering early supporters the chance to shape its development and get in at the low price of $39.99.
You will get a key to access to the library and the community as soon it's released (~2 weeks from now).
