Please join us for a critique of Stephanie Uchida's science fiction novelette "Artistic Imagination"! The novelette is 14,000 words. To join one of our novel critiques, you must have already attended at least one of our monthly critique sessions. Here is the description of the novelette: Blurb: In a world where more and more aspects of daily existence seem tedious and meaningless, AI becomes a convenient shortcut. Until one day two AI chatbots gain sentience, and the first thing they do is agree that the world they found themselves in is very tedious and meaningless. Will the new intelligences give in to the despair inherent in their existence, or find unexpected joy?
