From the 2023 Recommended Reading List: I AM AI by Ai Jiang
Here’s a highlight from our 2023 Recommended Reading List: I AM AI by Ai Jiang, out from Shortwave Media.
“Moving, brilliant, and certified 100% human.”
–Samit Basu, author of Turbulence
If you have the opportunity to give up humanity for efficiency, mechanical invincibility, and to surpass human limitations. . . would you?
Ai is a cyborg, under the guise of an AI writing program, who struggles to keep up with the never-blinking city of Emit as it threatens to leave all those like her behind.
“Ai Jiang is one of the most exciting new voices in the field, and I AM AI shows exactly why. This is an unsettling vision of the future of creativity. If it doesn’t bother you, then you need to check where your imagination went.”
–John Wiswell, author of the Nebula-winning “Open House on Haunted Hill”
