At BookCon 2026, Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid and show creator Jacob Tierney sit down to talk about instant chemistry and whats next for the show

The first panel at BookCon drew lines of fans an hour before its start. Fans have shown up in style. I spotted dozens of iterations of t-shirts with the faces of actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storie plastered on them. Boston Raiders, Montreal Metros, and New York Admirals jerseys are in abundance, too. 3,000 fans are here, waiting to see Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney in conversation for the first time. But while this may be the first public conversation between the Heated Rivalry author and show creator on a grand stage, it's clear that these two have been in perfect sync since their first Zoom call. Moderated by former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma, Reid and Tierney took to the stage at BookCon for a session called "Game Changing TV: Heated Rivalry." The conversations spanned across their entire collaboration, from their very first DM to the music that makes the show, to how their lives have changed since the show aired.

I used AI to role play as characters from The Great Gatsby

"Don't read books. Play them," says AI-powered role play platform Character.AI in a promo for its latest simulation feature: Books .  If you were as alarmed as I was at that first line (we are in a literacy crisis! ), let me explain. The new feature feeds public domain titles — classics like The Great Gatsby , Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Pride & Prejudice , and Frankenstein — into the platform's AI so that users can play as characters within the stories themselves. Users can "remix" the tales, adding new characters, changing the plots, or creating entirely new universes. Or you can just live inside the classic story as it is.  SEE ALSO: Character.AI users can now role-play classic books like 'Pride and Prejudice' The platform itself is intended for multi-layered, multimedia role play, from written or audio conversations to AI-generated comic strips and music videos. Users can upload descriptions and even art of their original...
