Description

  From Literature to
Biterature is based on the premise that in the foreseeable future computers will become capable of creating works of
literature. Among hundreds of other questions, it considers: Under which conditions would machines become capable of
creative writing? Given that computer evolution will exceed the pace of natural evolution a million-fold, what will such
a state of affairs entail in terms of art, culture, social life, and even nonhuman rights?
  Drawing a map of
impending literary, cultural, social, and technological revolutions, Peter Swirski boldly assumes that computers will
leap from mere syntax-driven processing to semantically rich understanding. He argues that acknowledging biterature as a
species of literature will involve adopting the same range of attitudes to computer authors (computhors) as to human
ones and that it will be necessary to approach them as agents with internal states and creative intentions.
 
Ranging from the metafiction of Stanislaw Lem to the "Turing test" (familiar to scientists working in Artificial
Intelligence and the philosophers of mind) to the evolutionary trends of culture and machines, Swirski's scenarios lay
the groundwork for a new area of study on the cusp of literary futurology, evolutionary cognition, and philosophy of the
future.
  
  Reviews
  Once I had a chess-playing computer that was reprogrammed to comment on my moves. The greatest praise it could
bestow on one of them was to inquire, 'Are you also a computer?' Is this an omen of our literary future? Will computers
one day win not only chess tournaments but Pulitzer Prizes? Will biterature overcome literature? Peter Swirski thinks
so, and he also thinks that Turing and Darwin have told us how it can happen. If his book inspires and provokes you as
much as it did me, reading it is a move that even my chess computer would compliment. -
Jaakko Hintikka, Boston University
  
  "Swirski's work is an accessible introduction to the domain
Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the presumed emergence of computer-generated literature - a thought provoking
concept." Tomasz Lem, author of Adventures in the Field of Universal
Gravitation
  
  "Brisk, playful, and paradoxical, Swirski presents the reader with a buffet of
food for thought." Quill & Quire
  
  “From Biterature to
Literature is the best thing that’s appeared since Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. At points fascinating,
unsettling, and profound, Swirski effortlessly integrates philosophy of mind, robotics, literary studies, cultural
trends, futurology, evolution, and many other areas of intellectual analysis. There is no other book like
it.” Waclaw M. Osadnik, Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, University
of Alberta
