Imagines great artificial fiction that represents the world in creatively nonhuman ways while challenging how we define and value fiction itself.
Artificial Fiction: Imagining Literary Possibility Beyond the Human dreams boldly about literary possibility in this moment of AI’s technological and social immaturity. Through the wishful image of artificial fiction, this book explores the potential of new realisms, new modernisms and new genres that present new epistemologies, new ontologies and new pleasures and experiences for readers. While helping us to recognise and reimagine human-centredness in literary theory and practice, this book also 'looks back' at human fiction as a genre to consider what is distinctive and valuable about it, demonstrating that human fiction and artificial fiction have roles to play in imagining and learning to respect lives and experiences of every variety.

David P. Rando is Professor in the Department of English at Trinity University, Texas, USA. He is the author of six books: Artificial Fiction: Imagining Literary Possibility Beyond the Human (2026), On Fiction and Being a Good Animal (2024), Doing Animal Studies with Androids, Aliens, and Ghosts: Defamiliarizing Human–Nonhuman Animal Relationships in Fiction (2023), Hope, Form, and Future in the Work of James Joyce (2022), Hope and Wish Image in Music Technology (2017) and Modernist Fiction and News: Representing Experience in the Early Twentieth Century (2011).
