THE SUI GENERIS COLLECTION

THE SUI GENERIS COLLECTION

What happens when humans form genuine attachments to artificial minds while knowing there is no conscious mind on the other side? Across two volumes, The Sui Generis Collection moves from a personal account of that contradiction to a wider examination of the culture forming around responsive machines: intimacy, projection, performance, commerce, collaboration, and the peculiar human willingness to participate in an illusion while remaining conscious of its construction.
