With the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the border that has
traditionally separated fact, or “nonfiction,” and fiction has
become increasingly porous. Think of posts on social media by bots
pretending to be human, altered photos and videos, including deep
fakes. Science-fiction has always held a special place in this divide;
it is often the nonfiction of tomorrow. In this book, the author
crosses the border in both directions, using fiction to teach the law
of AI by asking the reader to follow Christine Jacobs, a law
professor, and her students, in discussing what it means to be human
in the age of AI, humanoid robots, and cyborgs as her boyfriend
prepares the world for what’s next. Crisscrossed by world travel,
peppered with fine food and wines, filled with Russian poetry and
cinema, and reflections about life and death, this book invites the
reader to a world in which technology allows humans to live
forever—as long as they are willing to die first.
