I might consider buying hardcovers (or non-e-books in general) again if they came with holographic projections of gigantic animals (crows or fluffy cats or humans, as the situation calls for). And that would make for some "performative reading" I could appreciate...

Mine definitely do. Maybe.

The strongest indication that we're not getting a lot of AI books is simply that unlike magazines that publish short stories, we've not seen a sudden increase in the number of submissions.

I don't think an AI written book would get anywhere in the SPFBO - but AI is better at short stories and even better at flash fiction! https://mark---lawre...ood-part-2.html
