Artificial intelligence is also making its way into the world of books. EL PAÍS examined the use of AI in a sample of 119 popular books published in 2025 and 2026, analyzing titles that appeared on the bestseller lists at Amazon.es and the Spanish bookstore chain Casa del Libro, as well as the winners of a major literary prize.

One day in 2016, paleontologist David DeMar got very lucky. While examining the ground at Hell Creek in the U.S. state of Montana, he found a fossil the size of a golf ball. It was a coprolite — fossilized feces — from a theropod (probably a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex or a Nanotyrannus). Inside the coprolite was a feather from an aquatic bird (not related to modern birds). With a high degree of confidence, researchers believe the bird spent the final moments of its life in the digestive tract of a teenage T. rex.
