 The Many Lives of Lewis Carroll

Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents explore the extraordinary, multi-layered life of Lewis Carroll, the enigmatic mind behind Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Far beyond his fame as a children’s author, Carroll — born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson — lived a life filled with intellect, contradiction, creativity, and mystery.

We examine:

• His early years, academic brilliance, and career as a mathematician and logician
• The invention of Wonderland and the literary innovations that reshaped children’s fiction
• His passion for photography, wordplay, puzzles, and the study of logic
• The friendships, personal quirks, and complex social world that continue to spark debate
• The duality between Dodgson the reserved Oxford scholar and Carroll the imaginative dream-builder
• How his work influenced art, mathematics, philosophy, and modern storytelling

A deep dive into a man who seemed to live several lives at once — and whose creations still enchant the world more than a century later.
