Author Description

Artificial intelligence (AI)---there are a lot of polarized opinions about this emerging technology---emerging at the time of this publication, anyway. Space and Time issued a special call for #144, our special "AI Discovery" issue. We challenged authors, poets and artists to show us if it was possible to create with AI as a partner without losing their humanity. Eight authors and six poets stepped forward and did exactly that. Each piece comes with a statement of how AI was used to enhance creativity rather than replace it. Includes poetry and prose by Dave Hangman, Tom Howard, Chris McAuley, Don DeBrandt, Kayla Wiltfong, Austin Farmer, Jen Nafziger, James Hong, Colleen Anderson, RK Rugg, Jennifer Shelby, Anna Taborska, Bryant O'Hara, Jonathan Ukah, J. Thorn and Leonard Speiser. Cover art by Kyra Starr (using cover from #143 as a prompt). Layout and interior graphics by Anthony R. Rhodes. Copyedits and proofreading by Nikki DeKeuster.
