Veronica G. Henry on February 2, 2026 presents a Big Idea essay introducing her novel The People's Library, a future library of AGI "virtus" that replicate historical figures for patrons to borrow. Henry outlines protagonist Echo London, explores questions of human consciousness and AGI personhood, and highlights ethical tensions around autonomous replicas.
