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.

  • Circle of Trust

    I remember the first time I heard about the circular economy. It was a hot summer day, and I was working at the local retail store, sorting through piles of clothes that no one wanted anymore. The radio was on, and the broadcaster was talking about how this new system was going to change everything. Read more

  • Startup to Shutdown: A Journey of Survival

    I always believed in the power of change. The power to make a difference. The power to create a ripple that could turn into a wave. That’s what led me to start my own company. But standing here now, on the brink of extinction, with the world crumbling around me, I can’t help but wonder Read more

  • Disconnected: A Tale of Tech and Trades

    I woke up to my alarm buzzing, the shrill sound echoing in the small room. Today was supposed to be a normal day, just like any other. As a plumber, I was supposed to go to work, fix some pipes, and come back home. But as I picked up my phone to silence the alarm, Read more

  • The Timeline Takeover

    I woke up to the same monotony, the usual hum of the city outside my window, and the familiar glow of my screen lighting up the room. As I logged into Twitter, my eyes widened in disbelief. The ‘What’s happening?’ sidebar, usually filled with harmless trends and memes, was now dominated by a single, controversial Read more

  • The Unseen Monopoly

    I stood there, staring at the gleaming skyscraper that housed Norrsken22, the venture capital firm that had just swallowed my small startup whole. The African sun blazed hot on my back, but I felt a chill run down my spine. I had just signed away my life’s work to a faceless corporate entity, all in Read more

  • The Blackbird’s Nest

    I remember the day Blackbird invested in Carepatron. I was just a kid then, but I knew something was changing. The healthcare management system that we’d grown accustomed to was shifting, evolving. It felt like a revolution, but I wasn’t sure if it was for better or worse. Now, as I stand in the heart Read more

  • The Meta Mutiny

    I can still remember the days when the internet was free. When privacy was a right, not a privilege. When Meta was just a social media platform called Facebook. Now, it’s a leviathan, a monstrous entity that has consumed every aspect of our lives. It started with a subscription, a small fee for ad-free browsing. Read more

  • The Cryptic CEO

    I sat in the cold, sterile courtroom, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. The room was filled with a tense silence, only broken by the occasional shuffle of papers or the clearing of someone’s throat. Across from me, Bankman-Fried, the once high-flying CEO of FTX, sat with an expression as inscrutable as Read more

  • The Cortex Conundrum

    I never asked for any of this. I never asked to be the one to uncover the truth, to be the one to hold the fate of the world in my hands. But as I stare at the screen, the algorithms and codes of Snowflake Cortex staring back at me, I realize there’s no going Read more

  • The Watcher’s Paradox

    I always thought that the security cameras were for our protection, to keep us safe. But as I stare at the Lorex surveillance equipment mounted on the wall of my decaying apartment, I can’t help but feel a chill run down my spine. It’s like someone’s watching me, tracking my every move. And the worst Read more
