Artificial intelligence isn't just changing technology...it may be changing the way we tell stories.
In this episode of Plot Twist Radio, host Erin Egnatz sits down with author Ian Domowitz, whose career has spanned military intelligence, academia, Wall Street, and fiction writing.
Ian shares why he abandoned a 100,000-word nonfiction manuscript after the rise of ChatGPT and turned instead to writing dark fantasy and mystery novels centered on artificial intelligence. Together they explore:
• Why AI inspired him to leave nonfiction behind
• Ancient Jewish and Christian myths that resemble modern artificial intelligence
• Whether AI could ever become conscious
• The fascinating inspiration behind The Mechanics Diary series
• How history, philosophy, and technology collide in fiction
• A surprising conversation about ghosts, virtual reality, and whether spirits could exist in digital spaces
If you're fascinated by AI, speculative fiction, philosophy, history, or the future of storytelling, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at where technology and imagination meet.
