About The Age of Innocence

1920

The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton's eighth novel, was first published in 1920 across four installments. It was an immediate success, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the next year. The novel follows Newland Archer, a young lawyer torn between his engagement to the conventional May Welland and his passion for her unconventional cousin, Ellen Olenska.

Wharton skillfully portrays the hypocrisy and rigidity of upper-class New York City society, where appearances and social status often stifle authentic emotions and individual freedom. Through this classic love triangle, the author examines the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of societal repression.

"[Wharton] takes great attention with the details that make the world of her novel vibrant and indelible, and I hope you lose yourself in her words as much as I do," says author Roxane Gay. Read The Age of Innocence and find yourself reflecting on the timeless pursuit of personal fulfillment amidst moral and social obligations.

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.
