2102: PRETENSE, THE PLAY
“Its prose and paragraphs intricately intertwine complexity and readability at the same time!”
– Wajeeha Bashir, Nerdection
Fans of the bestselling novel Presence, the Play will welcome 2102: Pretense, the Play, the latest offering from William E. Jefferson. This new novel catapults present-day concerns about AI into a stunning future-cast of tomorrow.
With the release of artificial intelligence into the world, we do not have the same world plus AI; instead we have a new, rapidly changing hyper-sort of world, causing many to ask, “Is wisdom dead?”
“Not yet,” Jefferson asserts, “but AI may be digging wisdom’s grave.”
Even now, AI fabricates and presents a brave new world of art, musical scores, scripts for dramas, plays, sermons, and stories never told. In today’s culture, dominated more and more by distant, discarnate, mediated connectivity, 2102 takes readers on a journey where wily artificial intelligence challenges the wisdom of the ages.
