I AM AI featured on BookRiot’s list of 20 Must-Read Sci-Fi Novels About A.I.

On BookRiot‘s list of “20 Must-Read Sci-Fi Novels About AI”, sandwiched between genre milestones I, Robot by Isaac Asimov and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis of the Blade Runner films) by Philip K Dick, is our very own I AM AI by Ai Jiang.

“The following 20 novels, novellas, and short stories are absolute must-reads of the genre.”

Amazing to see this novelette standing alongside these giants, but its place is well-deserved in our opinion, we’ve been a champion of this story since our initial read through of the manuscript.

Read the full list here on BookRiot.

Thank you to BookRiot and Leah Rachel von Essen for including us on this list.
