It's the first novel planned, outlined, written and edited by an AI. You've heard of human-in-the-loop. This is no-human-in-the-loop. And it raises some very important questions. As you can imagine.

From the practicalities of context windows and master prompts, to the existential questions of art, creativity and what it means to be a writer, it feels like one of the most important shows we've done in a while. But then, I do say that every week.
