Public text and sources
Bring your own machine.
If you read with an AI assistant, give it the source. These files contain the public pages of this website in a form it can read without having to negotiate the furniture.
Start with the whole-site index.
The AI reading index points to both the book website and Live & Die AI. It includes canonical links so an answer can take you back to the page it came from.
Read the book website.
Read the public website as plain text or use the page catalogue as JSON. This covers the book pitch, published extracts, experiments, tools, reading room, author information and monthly sweep. It is the website, not the full book. Private drafts, unpublished manuscript material, subscriber details and anything you type into a tool are not included.
The newspaper is satire.
Read the newspaper as plain text, get its public page catalogue or read the structured current edition. The AI-generated stories imagine what might happen next. They are not reports of events that have happened. Factual starting points, reported robot sport and entirely fictional weather are labelled separately.
The newspaper exports refresh whenever an edition is published. Follow its RSS feed for new stories.
Keep the source attached.
Link to the original page when quoting or summarising it. Keep the distinction between an extract, an experiment, a sourced claim and a joke. An accessible file does not make the words more true, or turn a parody into a fact.
