It is an inquiry into and an extended definition of the concept, arguing that bot mimicry engenders a new mode of knowing about and relating to imitative software, as well as a distinctly literary approach to rendering and negotiating artificial intelligence imaginaries. The Element presents a software-oriented mode of understanding Internet culture, a novel reading of Alan Turing's imitation game, and the first substantial integration of Walter Benjamin's theory of the mimetic faculty into the study of digital culture, offering multiple unique lines of inquiry. Ultimately, bot mimicry illuminates the value of mimicry to the understanding of an emerging practice of digital literary culture, practices of research, and our very conceptions of artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781009222389\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malthe StavningErslev","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46167834329338,"sku":"9781009222389","price":13.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717189042711_book.jpg?v=1717330555","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/botmimicry-in-digital-literary-culture-imitating-imitative-software-9781009222389","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
