Description
Archer and Jockers claim that the New York Times bestsellers in fiction are predictable: an algorithm exists that helps publishers know with 97% certainty if a manuscript is likely to hit number one on the list. The system analyzes themes, plot, character, pacing, even the frequency of words and punctuation, to predict which stories will resonate with readers. If our intellectual and emotional responses as humans and readers can be predicted, what does this mean for the future? Will the relationship between creativity and technology help new authors, or hinder them? .
