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.

  • Dusk to Husk: The Power Struggle

    In the year 2073, the world as we knew it was a distant memory, a tale told by the elders around the flickering, dim firelight. The sun had become an elusive entity, hidden behind the thick layer of smog that had taken permanent residence in our skies. The day Husk Power Systems rose to prominence, Read more

  • The Deception Protocol

    The news of Dash’s closure hit me like a punch in the gut. It wasn’t just another tech startup falling apart, it was the company I had invested my life savings into. The word ‘fraud’ echoed in my head, each repetition a sharp stab of betrayal. I had trusted them, believed in their vision, and Read more

  • Frames of Deception

    I stare at my phone, my fingers trembling as they hover over the app icon. D-ID, it reads, the logo a simple camera lens. It’s just an app, I remind myself, just a harmless piece of technology. But I can’t shake the feeling of dread that pools in my gut. I’ve seen what it can Read more

  • The Web of Deception

    I was never supposed to be here. The sprawling metropolis of Lisbon, a city teeming with technological advancements and secrets hidden in its ancient alleys. I was merely an observer, a tech enthusiast, drawn to the Web Summit by the allure of innovation. But the moment the news broke, the moment Paddy Cosgrave stepped down Read more

  • Debt of Deception

    The world was divided, not by race or religion, but by debt. Venture debt, to be precise. I was just a cog in the machine, a small-business owner trying to make ends meet in a society where the rich got richer and the poor drowned in contracts and clauses. I had no idea what was Read more

  • Exit Strategy

    I remember the day when the 20th IPO was announced like it was yesterday. The city was buzzing, the screens flashing with stock prices and ticker symbols. It was supposed to be a good thing, an opportunity. But all I could feel was a cold dread settling in my stomach. The corporations were taking over, Read more

  • Debt’s Dominion

    I stared at the contract in front of me, my heart pounding in my chest. The words on the page seemed to blur together, the terms and conditions merging into a jumble of letters and numbers. But I knew I had no choice. My business was failing, and venture debt was my only lifeline. I Read more

  • Clouded Judgement

    I wake up to the sound of my alarm, groggy and disoriented. Another day at Ternary, the cloud-based platform that manages the world’s resources. It’s a monotonous job, but it pays the bills. As I get ready for work, I can’t shake the feeling that something is off. There’s a glitch in the system, a Read more

  • The Finerio Paradox

    I wake up to the sound of sirens blaring in the distance. It’s a familiar sound in the slums, where chaos and danger are a part of everyday life.
