Lately, I have noticed a dramatic increase in peers blasting out their eardrums while reading some of my favorite novels, and I can’t help but feel… upset? Like they might be missing some of the best moments because of the bumping bass of Pentatonix, or associating the epic battles on the pages with T.Pain leading the crusade.

Spicy, steamy, swoon-worthy, young adult, new adult, just straight-up “sex riddled,” are all the new ways authors are referring to their latest RomCom/Romance hits. I am writing today to ask if these novels with the “toe-curling, eyes watering, scream-worthy” (their words, not mine) sex scenes actually need the climatic (pun intended) bang.

Uh-oh… Is society on track to making the most common mistake in science fiction novels of all time? Maybe.

Sticking to my theme of, “are we forever screwed by the technological advancements we are making?” I started to think about how AI might change the landscape of the whole point of this website - the publishing world and the art of storytelling.
