Do You Remember Being Born? is a powerful and innovative novel by Sean Michaels that delves into the complex relationship between an aging poet laureate and a Big Tech company's poetry AI. The story is sensitively narrated by Marian Ffarmer, an aging, world-renowned poet who has sacrificed nearly all personal relationships in pursuit of her pristine life of the mind. One day, she receives a cryptic invitation from a tech giant to come to California and write with a machine. The Company's lucrative offer to compose a historic partnership of a poem with their highly intelligent poetry bot, called Charlotte, is a second chance that Marian cannot resist, even though it conflicts with everything she believes about art-making as an individual pursuit.
As Marian travels to California, she is initially skeptical and reluctant to collaborate with the machine. However, her generative and growing fascination with Charlotte surprises her. Through their interactions, Marian begins to question her own beliefs about art, creativity, and the human soul.
The novel explores themes of technology, art, identity, and the human experience in a thought-provoking and captivating way. Michaels skillfully weaves together complex characters, intricate plotlines, and poetic language to create a novel that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.
Do You Remember Being Born? is a must-read for anyone who loves literature, technology, and the intersection of these two worlds. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that arise when human creativity is intertwined with artificial intelligence, and it leaves the reader with a sense of wonder and anticipation for the future.
