"I try to think about issues that are in the public domain that aren't getting a lot of attention, or that are getting attention, but people don't necessarily understand how they work. It's a really good excuse for doing lots and lots of research, because I'm a nerd. It also helps me think about what communities want to understand-whether it's biogenetics or how the energy grid works or cryptocurrency."
"One of the great draws to this year's Portland Book Festival, Abrams chatted with the Mercury about her fiction writing and the ways she sees it as an extension of her political service-in particular, she hopes this new work can help audiences learn about artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that is more palatable than waiting for X's built-in chatbot Grok to go Mecha-Hitler again."
Stacey Abrams continues the Avery Keene series with Coded Justice, which confronts a potentially dangerous side of artificial intelligence. The novel transitions Avery from a Supreme Court setting into new challenges centered on AI. Abrams selects public-policy topics that receive inadequate public understanding and conducts extensive research to portray technical details accurately. She aims to educate communities about complex systems such as biogenetics, the energy grid, and cryptocurrency through narrative. Abrams treats fiction as an extension of public service, seeking to make AI conversations more accessible and less intimidating to readers while grounding the plot in realistic technological concerns.
