What Happens When AI Takes Over Our Brains?
New fiction from Charles Bastille
We all know about the AI scourge in the publishing industry. Thousands of so-called writers are now using it to flood the cyberlanes with AI garbage. Hundreds of AI-written books every week are getting released on Kindle.
My new science fiction story, Hijacked, is part allegory, part warning. In the end, it’s a love story. But in the beginning, it’s an allegorical question of how far we’re willing to take AI. Can you imagine chip implants that help people converse more “intelligently?” I can. Well, actually, I did. Check it out:
Hijacked
It is fair to say that my wife has finally found her way back to me, returned to me as a man by the conversational AI that snatched her, wearing a skin that’s not hers.
It’s a long read, so I hope you’ll bookmark it if you don’t have time to read it now. If you like it, I hope you share it, too.
Note: this story first appeared in The Kraken Lore.
Time for a couple of promos
The number of promos for this month is a bit light. I’ve been busy revamping Ruminato and dealing with platform issues, along with a lot of book editing.
But a little is better than nothing, right? Here we go…

"Killer With A Heart (Book 1)"
by James Hill
The mob fails to kill Morris Johnson (Mojo), which is a big mistake for the mob.
Note that I haven’t vetted any of the books in my promos section. They’re all through a cooperative linking program via StoryOrigin.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day.
