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.

    I was never much for the corporate world, the cold glass buildings and the men in their sleek suits.

The $400M Read more

  • The Silicon Stranglehold

    The world was ticking, every second pulsating with the rhythm of the impending deadline. The $61 billion deal, the one that would change everything, was hanging by a thread.

  • The Bottleneck Revolution

    My heart pounds in my chest as I watch the data flow across the screen. Numbers, graphs, charts – they all blur together, a sea of information that’s supposed to make sense, supposed to guide us. But all I see is chaos. Our startup was supposed to revolutionize the world, but now, it feels like Read more

  • Clouded Judgement

    I stare at the plummeting graphs on my screen, the red lines slashing through the green like a carnivorous beast. The numbers, the percentages, they’re all falling, cascading into an abyss that seems to have no end. It’s a bear market, they said. It’ll bounce back, they said. But as I watch the stocks of Read more

  • The Mentor Machine

    A dull hum echoed through the empty corridors as I walked towards the Practica building.

A shiver ran down my Read more

  • The Crypto Conspiracy

    I never asked for this. I never asked to be the face of a revolution, to be the one everyone turns to when the world is crashing down around them. But here I am, standing in the rubble of a world that’s been torn apart by greed and corruption. My name is Sam Bankman-Fried, and Read more

  • The Mastodon Effect

    I remember the day when I first installed Mastodon on my old Android phone, the one with the cracked screen. I was tired of the constant noise from Twitter/X, the endless stream of opinions, the barrage of information, the never-ending arguments. I wanted something different, something more…personal. So, I chose Mastodon. Little did I know Read more

  • The Last Connection

    The screen flickered, and then it was dark. My heart pounded in my chest, a wild drum echoing the silence of the room. I stared at the blank screen, willing it to come back to life. My lifeline to the outside world, my only source of information, was gone. The digital world I had come Read more
