New Deal Announcement – I AM AI

New Deal Announcement - I AM AI

Today we are announcing the acquisition of a new novelette by author Ai Jiang. I AM AI will be published in June 2023 in paperback and eBook formats.

In I AM AI, a cyborg, masquerading as an AI, struggles to retain her humanity while grappling with demanding and toxic relationships at work and at home, in a city that never blinks.

Ai describes I AM AI as “close to my heart: a novelette on toxic productivity, the detriments of AI, and the merits of humanity along with its challenges.”

Ai Jiang is a Chinese-Canadian writer and an immigrant from Fujian. She is a member of HWA, SFWA, and Codex. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in F&SF, The Dark, Uncanny, Prairie Fire, Hobart Pulp, The Masters Review—among others.

A cover reveal and pre-order for I AM AI are both forthcoming.
