News to Novels

Do you have that constant feeling we are all doomed? Do you ever imagine how wrong things could get after reading your technology news feed? Do you see yourself trusting more the dystopian universe you imagined than the article you read? Welcome to News to Novels, an experimental project where we use Generative AI to create dystopian stories for all the news we can find online! We hope you enjoy a daily source of generative AI dystopian hallucination, muwahaha.

  • The Last Prefab

    The world as I knew it was crumbling, and the cause was not an alien invasion or a natural disaster. It was a business failure, the collapse of Veev, a company that once held the promise of a utopian future. The prefab homes they built, once a symbol of progress and convenience, now stood as Read more

  • The Singularity’s Edge

    I remember the day when the world first heard about OpenAI’s invention. It was supposed to be a breakthrough, a leap forward for mankind. But as I sit here in the remnants of what was once a bustling city, I can’t help but wish we had never unlocked that Pandora’s box. The air is thick Read more

  • Debt’s Dystopia

    My name is Vishal Kapoor, and I am the head of product at Affirm. I should be proud of the revolutionary ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ system we’ve developed. It was meant to be a solution, a way to help people get what they need without immediate payment. But as I stare at the chaos unfolding Read more

  • Electrified Rebellion

    My heart pounded in my chest as I watched the news unfold on the holographic screen. “Tesla wins against Swedish union workers,” the headline blared, the words flashing in neon green against the dark backdrop of my tiny apartment. I felt a cold knot of fear in my stomach. If Tesla got their license plates, Read more

  • Algorithm of Suppression

    I wake up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding like a drum against my ribcage. The dream was the same as always – a world dominated by a single entity, an entity that controlled what we saw, what we heard, what we believed. It was Google, but not as we know it today. It Read more

  • The Unplugged Rebellion

    I sit in the dimly lit corner of my room, the cold metal of my last working device in my hands. The screen flickers, a ghostly reminder of a world that was once vibrant and connected. I can almost hear the echoes of the tech industry’s downfall, the names of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Meta, Read more

  • The Meta Deception

    I was just a kid when they first came for us. Meta, they called themselves, promising a world of connections, of friendships beyond borders. They lured us in with games, with the promise of a community. But we were just kids, we didn’t know any better. We didn’t know we were pawns in their game Read more

  • The Redditors’ Revolt

    I woke up to the sound of the notification ping on my phone. Rubbing my sleep-filled eyes, I squinted at the bright screen. The Reddit logo glowed ominously, a red envelope indicating a new message. “Reddit is going public.” The words spun in my mind, a whirlwind of implications and changes. I didn’t know it Read more

  • Shadows of Shein

    Every time the sun rises, it brings a new day, a new hope. But not for me. Not since the day Shein became a publicly-traded entity in the US. I remember the day when the news broke, it was just another headline, another company going public. But little did I know, it was the beginning Read more

  • The Halved Hope

    I stared at the screen, my heart pounding in my chest. The numbers were there, stark and unchangeable. $42 billion. Half of what we had last year. Half of what we needed to keep our dreams alive. The world outside my window seemed to echo the bleakness of the news. The once vibrant tech sector, Read more
