Awarded by the Doc Lab Award for Digital Storytelling Award 2018, 1 the Road is the first real book written by an AI. Ross Goodwin, creator of artificial intelligence, equipped a cadillac with a surveillance camera, a GPS, a microphone and a clock connected to an AI. With this equipment he travels from New York to New Orleans allowing the AI to produce a manuscript line by line from the machine’s printer on long scrolls of receipt paper that filled the car’s rear seats. The editorial model of this book is based on a graphic adaptation of these original rolls.
