Intelligent machines have long existed in science fiction, and they now appear in mainstream films such as Bladerunner, Ex Machina, I Am Mother and Her, as well as in a recent proliferation of literary texts narrated from the machine's perspective. These new portrayals of artificial intelligence inevitably foreground dilemmas related to identity and selfhood, concepts being reassessed in the 21st century. Taking a close look at novels like Ancillary Justice, Aurora, All Systems Red, The Actuality, The Unseen World and Klara and the Sun, this work investigates key questions that arise from the use of AI narrators. It describes how these narratives challenge humanist principles by suggesting that selfhood is an illusion, even as they make the case for extending these principles to machines by proposing that they are not so different from humans. The book examines what is at stake with nonhuman narration, the qualities of AI narratives, and what it might mean to relate to a narrator when the voice adopted is that of an AI.

In this quasi-French farce masquerading as a novel, we meet Courtney Farquhar Tremayne, one hundred years young in the year 2000 and writing his memoirs about his ten odd (and you can believe that they were exceedingly odd) years touring with a second-rate vaudeville troupe (from approximately 1926 to 1936). Meet all of the interesting characters he knew from that magical medium now long departed. There are Bud and Boz, a dog act (Bud is the trainer and Boz the dog, although it was said that some were loathe to tell the difference). Then, there is one of the strangest acts ever to be seen on the vaudeville stage, Nick Knack Paddywack and his Knockabout Kids, a family acrobatic and comedy act. Meet Malachi and Alewyn Malarkey, Irelands version of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Also on board is Charles Mammy Kaufman, a blackface minstrel singer (a type of act no longer seen on any stage) whose not-so-secret secret is that he is, contrary to the convention of the day for these mammy singers, actually black. Then, there is Kelfer Milius, the pompous star actor of the show. And lastly is the beautiful and alluring (to Courtney, anyway) Prudence Bernadette, the shows star actress. Follow them and all these other vaudeville misfits on their ten-year excursion throughout countless Midwestern cow towns and backwater hamlets, where they ply their trade and, more often than not, find themselves in sometimes precarious, yet always comic, circumstances beyond their control.

This is a story about one man's struggle to overcome class discrimination, poverty, and abandonment in order to achieve success, wholeness, and recognition. It does not always make light reading, but as with anything in life, there are humorous elements. A mixture of narrative storytelling and academic investigation provides the necessary balance for discussing a difficult subject. From earliest childhood memories, the reader is taken through the commotion of school life and ultimately beyond into the world of work. There is a gradual reversal of roles, as the ideas applied to the writer in his youth are turned outwards upon his entourage, and subsequently, the rest of society. One need not always agree; but hopefully the book will provide at the very least food for thought, and demonstrate the limitations of any idea when taken to the extreme.

This book is a history of artificial intelligence, that audacious effort to duplicate in an artifact what we consider to be our most important property—our intelligence. It is an invitation for anybody with an interest in the future of the human race to participate in the inquiry.

"The Emotional Odyssey: LOGI's Interstellar Quest" is a captivating journey into a universe where emotions are the source of life and interstellar friendship. On a planet rich in nature, the EVADAMS share a unique bond with the distant LOOMANS through the magical CONSCIENCE, transmitting emotions that sustain the latter's society. However, when LOGI, a curious EVADAM, starts questioning the necessity of this emotional sharing, it sets off a series of events that challenge the traditions of both worlds. Determined to understand the deeper significance of their existence and the balance of giving and taking, LOGI's quest for answers leads to isolation, sparking a dialogue across planets about the very nature of their connection. This tale of introspection and exploration delves into the importance of empathy, the value of individuality within a community, and the power of asking questions that challenge the status quo. As LOGI's journey unfolds, it brings to light the potential of innovation and technology through the creation of an AI machine, blending the EVADAMS' emotional depth with the LOOMANS' technological prowess. This collaboration seeks to find a sustainable solution to their shared dilemma, highlighting themes of cooperation, understanding, and mutual respect. This story is more than an adventure; it's a reflection on the impact of our actions on others and the universe at large. It encourages young readers to consider the importance of both individuality and community, the beauty of questioning and learning, and the endless possibilities that come with embracing change. Through LOGI's eyes, readers are invited to embark on an emotional odyssey that explores the complexities of life, the strength of connections, and the bright future that lies in innovation and empathy.
