A Journey Beyond the Unknown

Take a human mind and an Artificial Intelligence. Give them the same instructions and rules. Ask them to build a story. This is a journey beyond the unknown, a narrative challenge. Love, adventure, emotions. An experiment to try to understand the challenges of the future.

These Artificial Intelligences! They say they can now do just about anything… Can they write a story? A real novel, from beginning to end? And if they really can, what will this novel be like? Better than a “human” one? Worse? The same? We asked ourselves these questions for a long time and decided to make it a challenge. We took a story idea, or better, the seed of a story. And we gave it to a very talented debut author. And to a machine. The result? Two completely different novels deserve to be read alone and together. Ultimately, we decided to add an essay to tell you about the experiment. Because the future is coming. And we’re really curious to see what will happen.

• A love and adventure story written by a human author
• And another love and adventure story written by a machine
• How’s that possible? Well, there’s a book to find out.
