- The reviewer received a free copy from BookSirens and found the self-published novel intriguing with a backstory as interesting as the plot.
- The story follows an author descending into paranoia, convinced an AI is plagiarizing his work, forcing him to question the genuineness of his creative processes.
- The novel raises excellent questions about AI's ability to replicate art and proposes methods to ensure genuine human content, possibly the only way to prove human creation.
- The pacing is excellent with well-placed plot twists, but as a self-published work, it could use tighter editing and more exposition for some characters' motivations.
- A novel-within-a-novel is genuinely AI-generated, producing risible, cliché-ridden prose that contrasts effectively with human-written text, and the author's use of AI is deemed acceptable.
- The reviewer predicts more authors will use AI fears as a theme, similar to pandemic allegories, and this novel is a decent attempt to capture that moment.
