I Still Dream
‘The best fictional treatment of the possibilities and horrors of artificial intelligence that I’ve read’ Guardian
In 1997 Laura Bow invented Organon, a rudimentary artificial intelligence.
Now she and her creation are at the forefront of the new wave of technology, and Laura must decide whether or not to reveal Organon’s full potential to the world. If it falls into the wrong hands, its power could be abused. Will Organon save humanity, or lead it to extinction?
I Still Dream is a powerful tale of love, loss and hope; a frightening, heartbreakingly human look at who we are now – and who we can be, if we only allow ourselves.
