Speculative Fiction Author, Salman Shaheen

Sharon and Salman discuss the advantages and dangers of artificial intelligence when technology outpaces society’s ability to manage it.

Sharon Lynn interviews speculative fiction author Salman Shaheen about his novel Freebourne. Set in a small English village, the story follows a man who just wants to get away from it all and work on his new AI program, only to find a body bleeding in the snow when he disembarks the train. The discovery sparks a series of events that drag our protagonist through confrontations, more bodies, and paranoia. Whether or not you support AI, this conversation is right for today’s readers.
