The Digital Aesthete Cover Reveal!

June 19, 2023

We now have a cover for the anthology of stories about artificial minds interacting with art. The stories and the art are created by humans (the cover is drawn and designed by the spectacular K.A. Teryna!)

Typeface and the blurb below may not be finalized yet, but this is close enough to share!

The Digital Aesthete

Human Musings on the Intersection of Art and AI

Edited by Alex Shvartsman

Stories that explore the relationship between artificial intelligence and art, written by top science fiction authors from across the globe. Read the tales of robot painters, AI poets, and electronic gallery curators; dystopias where human artists must eke out an existence in societies where AI generates most of the content, and utopias where artificial minds help unlock and enhance human creativity.

Featuring fiction by authors from USA, UK, China, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Madagascar, Argentina, Chile, Czech Republic, and Sri Lanka.

This book will be released on November 14, digitally distributed by UFO Publishing while the paperbacks are distributed by Arc Manor / CAEZIK SF & Fantasy.

There are several ways you can preorder this book. Our preference is that you do so via our Kickstarter campaign (which ends in just a few days) for the KAKISTOCRACY audiobook. The Digital Aesthete is available as an add-on in print and ebook formats but you can grab just that if that’s what you want.

Alternatives are to order direct from UFO Publishing here: (Ebook) / (Print)

Paperback is also available for preorder on Amazon, B&N, Bookshop, and your favorite local bookstore!
