AI in fiction: an interesting question

[valkyrie]

Is this a thinly disguised autobiography? I've heard a theory that the first novel of most authors is really a crappy autobiography -- maybe you'd be well-served to ditch it and start fresh with a new idea.

My first novel was pretty awful, too. I think to myself often, "I wrote this c**p?"

Honestly? I just can't see it as interesting as a book about joining a sorority in your college years. That, in and of itself, is a driven plot. It's been proven already.

I'm trying hard to see myself reading a book that involves AI, but I just can't see myself getting sucked in. And trust me, I read total shit, not that I'm saying your book is, but as a general comparison. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you've managed to paint AI in a different light that adds a dynamic to your plot. But I wouldn't pick up a book, read the back cover, see that it mentions AI and go, 'oh this one looks really good.'
