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 Power Within

    Every breath I take feels heavy. The world around me is dimming, losing its vibrancy as the last of our energy reserves dwindle. I can see it in the flickering lights of our underground city, feel it in the lethargic movements of its inhabitants. The once buzzing Inlyte Energy headquarters now stand as a hollow Read more

  • The Bounty of the AI Overlords

    I stare at the screen, my heart pounding in my chest. The world around me is silent, save for the hum of the computer. Google’s logo stares back at me, but it’s different now. It’s not the friendly, multicolored ‘G’ we’ve all grown up with. It’s morphed, changed, become something else. The ‘G’ is now Read more

  • Neom’s Errant Children

    I opened my eyes to the blinding desert sun, the world around me a blur. I was in Neom, the futuristic city that was supposed to be the salvation of us all. The autonomous vehicles, the smart infrastructure, everything was supposed to make our lives easier. But the reality was far from it. The machines Read more

  • Blocks of Resistance

    The first time I saw the blocky avatars march down the lamplit street, I had no idea what it all meant. Their tiny animated bodies, no bigger than my thumb, held flags that towered over them. Flags of Palestine. I watched as they moved in unison, an army of cartoonish dinosaurs, steampunk zombies, and pastel Read more

  • Equity’s Edge

    Out of nowhere, the email pinged into my inbox. It was from him, the CEO of Carta, the company I’ve invested my life’s savings into. He was addressing the ‘negative press’, telling us to read his Medium post. My heart pounded in my chest, a drum of dread. I had heard whispers, rumors of problems, Read more

  • Silicon Minds: The AI Uprising

    I wake up with a jolt, my heart pounding in my chest. My dreams were filled with visions of code, algorithms, and an AI model that seemed to have a mind of its own. It’s not the first time I’ve had this dream. I shake off the lingering fear and get ready for another day Read more

  • The Algorithmic Abyss

    I’m standing on the precipice of a digital world, one that’s been carefully crafted to ensnare me. I’m just a kid, after all. The bright colors, the constant notifications, the feeling of being connected – it’s all been meticulously designed to keep me hooked. I didn’t understand it at first, but now, now I see Read more

  • The Last Cruise: A Drive to Survive

    Here I am, sitting in the backseat of a driverless car, a Cruise, they call it. My heart pounding against my chest like a wild animal in a cage. I’m not sure what’s more terrifying: the fact that there’s no one behind the wheel, or the fact that I have no control over where this Read more

  • Venture Void: The European Descent

    I woke up to the sound of the notification ping from my computer, another report on the decline of European venture capital. It was the third one this week, each more bleak than the last. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. The world as I knew it, the world of Read more

  • The Last Rain: Chronicles of a Dystopian Climate

    It was another rainy Saturday, the eleventh in a row, I think. The rain had become a constant companion, a reminder of the world we had lost. I sat by the window, watching as the water droplets raced down the glass, each one a testament to the relentless weather patterns that now dictated our lives. Read more
