This fascinating book explores machines as authors of fiction, past, present, and future. For centuries, writers have dreamed of mechanical storytellers. We can now build these devices. What will be the impact on society of AI programs that generate original stories to entertain and persuade? What can we learn about human creativity from probing how they work?
In
Story Machines

language generators
that compose coherent text,
storyworlds
with believable characters, and
AI models

Anyone with an interest in story writing will gain a new perspective on what it means to be a creative writer, what parts of creativity can be mechanized, and what is essentially human.
is for those who have ever wondered what makes a good story, why stories are important to us, and what the future holds for storytelling.
