Michael Connelly Faces the Rapid Pace of AI
Michael Connelly, the bestselling author of the Lincoln Lawyer series, has voiced concerns that his new AI-themed thriller might feel old-fashioned before it even hits the shelves. As technology evolves at breakneck speed, Connelly worries that the ideas and scenarios in his latest novel could quickly become outdated.
The Struggle to Keep Fiction Current
Connelly’s new book dives into the world of artificial intelligence, exploring its impact on crime and society. However, the author admits the relentless advancement of AI leaves him worrying that readers may find his story less relevant by the time it arrives in bookstores. He says the pace of change in AI is so swift that even the most imaginative writers struggle to keep up.
The author’s candid confession shines a light on a new challenge facing novelists: how to capture the present when tomorrow’s technology keeps rewriting the rules. With AI reshaping everything from law enforcement to everyday life, Connelly’s dilemma is one that more writers are likely to face in the coming years.
