    I don’t understand what you wrote. Please explain like I’ve not take a literature class since high school. (I read, but mostly for fun or computer tech information, which is also for fun.)

        What I got out of it (including the clarification) was “AI ties to Alice in some way also Alice in Wonderland is deeper than you think” and the ties to AI were where I felt it was either nonsense or not written for the audience.

          I have actually read Alice in Wonderland and it has themes but its not more deep then pure fantasy story telling for a child. The story was generated by the author on a camping trip with his good friend. His friend had a young daughter and he made up a story for her… and he decied it was good enough for everyone to enjoy.

            It also twinged my implausibilty meter when they said there were several easy to find podcasts and blog posts on the depths of AiW, but didn’t link to any…

            Edit: the first, long comment made me think it was some autist’s [not derogatory] special interest and that they were too deep to explain it well. The second comment made me think that was not the case.

      There is more to the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland than just a children’s story. There are several podcasts and blog posts on this that are easy to find. The book is public domain and on Gutenberg.org. There are also several audio book reads of the original text on YT. It is considered the holotype or foremost representative book in the literary nonsense genre, (the book ends with all of wonderland being a dream).
