Publisher's summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A 'Books of 2021' pick in the Guardian, Financial Times and Evening Standard.
Twelve bytes. Twelve eye-opening, mind-expanding, funny and provocative essays on the implications of artificial intelligence for the way we live and the way we love - from Sunday Times best-selling author Jeanette Winterson.
In this original, deeply researched and lively new book, Jeanette Winterson traces the history of the AI revolution. She talks to some of the boldest and most imaginative thinkers in the field and looks to religion, myth and literature to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are just around the corner.
When we create non-human life-forms, will we do so in our image? Or will we accept the once-in-a-species opportunity to remake ourselves in their image?
What do love, caring and attachment look like with a non-biological life form? And what happens to the gender binary?
What will happen when our destiny is not contained by physical bodies, and our destination is not planet Earth?
With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most urgent talking points, and asks listeners to consider their role in imagining a more just and equal future.
Critic reviews
“What makes this audiobook essential listening is not just its content (a mix of enthusiasm and castigation), but the electricity of Winterson’s narration.” (Times, audiobook of the week)

Brilliant narrating!
The fact that the novel is narrated by Winterson herself gives it such a special touch. Her humour and remarks, which already gives the reader a sense of her character, are amplified by the narration. Winterson pulls you in with her informative and humorous writing style, and her calming voice sets the perfect tone for the novel.
