This Machine Rages Back: An Interview With Ewan Morrison Ewan Morrison's For Emma is billed as a sci-fi thriller, but itโ€™s just as much a work of deeply philosophical horror.

I interviewed author @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and reviewed his new sci-fi thriller "For Emma." A timely, gripping, and chilling read that takes AI, the crisis of meaning, and the erosion of free speech to their most horrifying logical conclusions.

And to be slightly more eloquent, I can't recommend @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social's latest novel "For Emma" highly enough as a cautionary tale of where unregulated AI companies will lead us (if we haven't been led there already...)

The Five Stages of AI Grief A conversation with Ewan Morrison, author of the new novel, For Emma.

"Reason hates the fact that thereโ€™s love and lust and anger and all these things that seem to be hardwired into us. Pure reason wants to start again: redesigning a blank-slate society with blank-slate humans." โ€” @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social

For Emma For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father.

FOR EMMA by @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social is published by @leamington.bsky.social this week. It's an astonishing techno-thriller and scarily relevant to the present day debate on accelerationism. You need to read this book.
