Eikyo Matsunaga is a Japanese writer advancing toward the cutting edge of world literature as a creative ambition. By asking AI to write fiction and comparing its work with his own, he searched for a style that AI could not reproduce and arrived at his current voice. For Matsunaga, the act of a human writing is itself a form of resistance in the age of AI. His short-story collection, Literature, More or Less: A Short Story Collection, turns familiar routines into absurd situations: a clinic prescribes rice instead of medicine, and diners prepare their own meals. The English edition is available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMRQCB52 . The original Japanese fiction is human-written. AI assistance was used for the English translation and this profile text.
