The first camel seller

Author's name: Matej Vischenek

As you can see, I am a machine, but a very sophisticated one. I am connected to billions of words: almost everything written in human history is either stored in my memory or at my disposal. Let's begin our first narrative collaboration. What would you like us to write together? A novel, a short story, a poem, a play, an essay? Please click the option that best suits you.

Guy Courtois, the central and enigmatic character in this work, says that a good novel represents a triumph over time because it accompanies you throughout your life and stays with you, continuing its existence. The author, Matej Vishnik, also asserts that the postmodern novel in general represents an expression of an endless love for literature. The translator adds that "The First Camel Seller," although it defies classification, is a unique dystopia that goes beyond anticipating humanity's future to discuss, with subtle irony, the future of its literature, with the entry of artificial intelligence into the realm of human creativity and the possibility of the novel being transformed from a unique mental essence into mere boxes with the number of pages and the type of characters required, from which you can choose what you want, while the machine takes care of the writing.
