AI and Literature (1)

I'm starting a new series about AI and Literature: The creation of literature, it's production, and its distribution and sales.

Each week I provide a new observation, interpretation, or new approach to conceptualizing or address both problematics and possibilities at the nexus between literature (i.e. novels) and AI.

I am a reasonably rare breed: I'm both a novelist and a social scientist. My feeling is that peer-reviewed work is going to be years behind this topic and the industry itself (writers, publishers, booksellers, readers) have no time to waste. Diving in with serious thought is better than waiting for the dust to settle because the world as we know it is not beneath the dust storm anymore: it is the dust storm.

Please share this, follow, and otherwise stay tuned. If you care about the future of novels and their impact on the world — and you know you do — this is for you.
