Science fiction often centers around advanced technology, especially technology and machines taking over for humans.  Language and writing are aspects of human ability that machines are generally not programmed to attempt to master.  The article (linked below) shows the attempt of an algorithm programmed to write a science fiction story based upon certain rules.

This story fails to fully engage the reader.  The language used in the story is formal, and describes different aspects of the “Other” world, but does not paint a picture in the mind of the reader.  The direction of the narrative is at times aimless, and I was left wondering what the point of the story was.  Many SF stories that we have read so far this semester highlight a social issue or anxiety, while this story only focuses on that the most important thing in the society is something that is “profitable and marketable.”  This focus does not allow for the development of more complex underpinnings of society, and feels very much like a surface level critique of society.  In two areas, the nuances of language and the development of a more complex narrative and characters, this story leaves something to be desired.  It depicts an area in which machine ability falls short of human ability.  However, it feels as though our current society is living a SF story, since I would more expect the use of computers to produce stories to be part of a fictitious story.
