Lurk: A Disturb Ink Books Anthology (Sinister Century, #6) Reviews


  • Mark Robinson

    At a time when the future of AI is a scary concept, along comes an anthology that encapsulates those fears.

    Four very different stories, by four indie writers (myself included) all with very individual takes on the horrors of technology.

    Kieran Marsh foresees a bleak future where the elderly and asylum seekers are housed in AI assisted living controlled by AI. What could go wrong, you ask, when computers learn from right-leaning media…

    F. Malanoche shows us the future of an AI God who can answer all our prayers in an instant. When does a new religion become a cult?

    Kassidy Vangundy takes a swipe at social media and how AI could let the dead continue to influence us.

    My take examines whether there is really a difference between ghosts and AI in a modernised haunted house.
