Creating Fiction in a World of AI and Technology
Sisters in Crime Orange County – The Blood Orange
24 MARCH 2024
3:00 p.m. @ Book Carnival in Orange, CA
In the near future, humans may become reliant on automation and artificial intelligence to run their lives. Imagine if they were suddenly cut off from that reliance and people had to start over. Laurie Stevens’ new book “The Return” addresses that very subject. Join us to hear about her extensive research into AI, where she imagines tech might take us, and how it may all circle back to the biblical story of Adam and Eve.
Laurie Stevens is the author of the Gabriel McRay thriller series. The books have won twelve awards, including Kirkus Review’s “Best of” and a Random House Editors’ Book of the Month. International Thriller Writers says she’s “cracked the code” regarding writing psychological suspense, while Suspense Magazine claims she’s the “leader of the pack.” Laurie’s short stories have appeared in many anthologies and magazines and she co-edited the 2019 Los Angeles Sisters in Crime anthology Fatally Haunted. Her brand-new novel, The Return, is a sci-fi fantasy that pits AI against human consciousness.
