These real-time conversations are interspersed with entries from Souders’ diary spanning twenty years, unfolding with a surprising and improvisational quality in combination with photographs from Souders’ archive. With this personal and provocative book, we are guided through a unique exploration of how a machine and a human can learn from one another and build a shared story from pieces of themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThrough Souders’ chatbot conversations, we step into a world of questions: about love, sexuality, death, disappointment, the sky, seeing, desire, and anxieties of the body. Within the space of their correspondence, dazzlingly surreal and poetic tangents are combined with the material realities of the bot and its connections to capitalism, the future of technology, and the slippery divide between being and non-being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555569045561,"sku":"210000002085","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/art-58597-01.jpg?v=1790279166","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/brea-souders-another-online-pervert","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
