Literary Titan is featuring its review of 100 Livestreaming and Digital Media Predictions, Volume 4 on its website.

The first three books in the #100Predictions series were all Literary Titan book award winners and the fourth is currently a nominee.

This nuanced treatment of AI lends the book a credible and authoritative voice in the ongoing discourse."

Contributors Laura Clapp Davidson, Marisa Cali, Ross Quintana and Bryan Kramer are featured in the review.

Volume 4 received 4 out of 5 stars, with the primary criticism centering on the book's organization: "I do feel that a bit more thematic organization could enhance readers’ ability to digest the information seamlessly."
