PRE-ORDER NOWBEFORE THE BOOK LAUNCHES
Two pre-launch events in London.
Is it possible for an AI to become conscious? If so, how is it likely to happen? And if it did, what then?
Join Mike Baxter for an evening exploring the questions behind Autobiography of an Artificial Mind: A novel, the research that informed it, and the process of turning those ideas into fiction.
Mike will talk about the novel, share some of the biggest questions he wrestled with while writing it, read selected passages, and describe his path from researching AI to becoming a novelist.
Both events are free · Places are limited
