Explains how artificial intelligence is pushing the limits of the law and how we must respond.
Ian Johnstone a grandi dans l'Oxfordshire et vit maintenant à Oxford, ce qui pourrait suggérer un homme qui aime s'en tenir à ce qu'il connaît. En fait, Ian a l'habitude étrange de passer d'un monde à l'autre. Il a grandi dans une petite ville anglaise tranquille, mais a passé une grande partie de sa vie à voyager et à travailler en Afrique. Il aime la science, mais a étudié la littérature anglaise. Il a grandi à Oxford, mais a obtenu son diplôme à Cambridge. Il a commencé sa carrière dans l'édition en produisant des livres pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et a fini par créer des sites Web futuristes et des environnements d'apprentissage virtuels. Plus récemment, il a quitté l'édition pour devenir écrivain. Il n'est donc peut-être pas du tout surprenant qu'il écrive des romans fantastiques sur les voyages dans d'autres mondes. L'œuvre de Johnstone explore les thèmes de l'altérité et de la découverte, et son style est connu pour sa capacité à transporter le lecteur dans des réalités entièrement nouvelles.
