"Poor Beth": A Modern Mystery Reimagines a Literary Fate. AI-Generated.
A Classic's Quietest Ending Becomes a Modern Starting Point For over 150 years, Beth March’s death in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has been framed as a tender, tragic, and inevitable event. She is the "good" sister, whose quiet decline serves as a moral lesson and a catalyst for the others’ growth. In Beth Is Dead, author Katie Bernet seizes on this narrative fixture and turns it into an open question. What if Beth’s death in a modern setting wasn’t a gentle fading away, but a sudden, unexplained event? By shifting Beth’s fate from a consumptive nineteenth-century passing to a mysterious death on New Year’s Eve, Bernet does more than update the setting. She actively challenges the original narrative’s acceptance of Beth’s passive role, transforming a closed ending into an open case.

We’ve interacted with AI as we would an oracle in an "answer cave": we came before its text box, articulated a question thoughtfully, and then waited for an answer. However, as we find ourselves in 2026, so is the passing of the era of "static prompts." We are now in the "Age of Agentic AI."

Title: Confessions of a Digital Archaeologist: Why I Chase the Ghosts of Secret History
History, for most of us, is a museum. It’s a collection of curated artifacts, polished plaques, and settled stories encased in glass. We walk through its quiet halls, observe the accepted timeline of events, and trust that the narrative we’re given is the complete one. For a long time, I walked through that same museum. But then, one day, I noticed a crack in the glass. And through that crack, I saw that history wasn’t a quiet museum at all. It was a living, breathing crime scene!
