1/ Just finished reading 15 book summaries created as part of my anti-book club, in which everyone reads and summarizes different books and shares the summaries using a standard template

I’d probably go the other way actually: ask them to choose the books that most appealed to them, and read in their own autonomous way. My job would be integrating their diverse perspectives rather than extracting an approximation of my own hypothetical one. Boydian auftragstaktik

But the whole point is to show that a book CAN be effectively summarized, so we can avoid all reading the same books. If it depends on an integrator, than it’s not scalable!!!!

I think my ambition is much smaller though: all I want from the summary is help calibrating WHEN is the best time for me myself to read this. I was just surprised that for 14/15 it was “never”

Maybe I’m just pickier than I thought. Or I’ve reached some critical mass in a certain domain (or overlapping collection of domains, more likely). It’s also that I’m in convergent, instrumental mode, just trying to get the minimum needed to finish my manuscript

I think you'd want to aggregate on several levels simultaneously. Train a bot to piece together reviews from different perspectives (chapter, section, book, series). Layer the results to match your own perspective over time.

That’s kind of the purpose of progressive summarization, the method were all using. Summarize with different levels of context, so the reader can zoom in or out based on how much context they need
