About this novel and its creator
I am a 50 year old novelist and creative writing teacher. I don’t work in the tech industry, nor do I have any insider knowledge of AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (machine learning), or VR (virtual reality). Like you, I hear about it daily in the news and finds myself imagining what the world is about to become, which is the inspiration for This Memoir Will Be Written by Robots.
I am writing the story, but the images are created by a mixture of AI, photography, and photoshop, thus the contrast in how the characters might look panel to panel. I will be continuing to create this graphic novel in real time each week, knowing that AI is progressing at such a rapid pace that soon I will not need photography or photoshop. Just AI. You will see the advancements in sophistication and intelligence here first hand.
I'm really enjoying you series!
Incidentally on your point about live language translation making learning a language potentially redundant check out these new RayNeo X2 glasses - perhaps for inspiration for you. I had been looking forward to getting some at some point mainly for allowing me to travel to other countries and be able to understand the local culture - could be an amazing way to help people understand other cultures as well as the dystopian angles perhaps?

I’m totally digging the serial experience. Can’t wait for the next installment!
