What a Novel About an AI Documenting the Last Human Says About Our Real Dystopia CYBER

    • Technologie

The unreliable narrator of After World, the new novel from author Debbie Urbanski, is an AI tasked with writing a book about Sen, the last human on Earth. In this world, humanity is done. The world is moving on without us and Sen was born for a purpose: to watch the planet change itself without humanity. After World is a story about artificial intelligence, climate change, and what we can hope to leave behind for our children in a doomed future. 
On today’s episode of Cyber, Emily and Matthew sit down with Urbanski to discuss all of it.
