Legible, Camerota to publish Frankenstein AI e-book

Mr. Kaleeg Hainsworth reports

LEGIBLE AND REMO CAMEROTA JOIN FORCES TO PUBLISH AI-ENHANCED FRANKENSTEIN CLASSIC

Legible Inc. has entered a collaboration with esteemed career fine artist, author and film director Remo Camerota to create an artificial-intelligence-powered version of Mary Shelley's masterpiece Frankenstein.

In a first-of-its-kind fusion of classic literature and cutting-edge technology, Legible's FrAnkensteIn will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to create interactive story elements, allowing users to engage directly with the narrative and characters in ways never before possible. This interactive experience promises to challenge perceptions of storytelling, blurring the lines between creator and creation, much like the novel itself.

Mr. Camerota is an award-winning director, artist and photographer, with a background in illustration, painting, animation and interactive multimedia design, whose art is included in a unique collection recently sent to the moon. Known for his ability to meld science, tech and sound with art to create immersive experiences, Mr. Camerota's visionary perspective and digital artistry will ensure that FrAnkensteIn is not only a narrative feat, but also a visual spectacle, offering audiences around the world a uniquely engaging way to experience a zeitgeist that will bridge this 1900 novel to today.

The collaboration aims to preserve the soul of Ms. Shelley's original work while infusing it with interactive elements that explore themes of creation, ethics, and human frailty and innocence -- questions that are even more relevant today with 21st-century technology and scientific advances than they were in the 19th century.

Mr. Camerota stated: "I am excited to collaborate with Legible on this groundbreaking project. Blending the haunting beauty of Frankenstein with AI allows us to reflect on the implications of creation and technology, themes that Mary Shelley could never have imagined but are now part of our daily lives."

"Working with Remo Camerota on this project is an absolute honour," said Kaleeg Hainsworth, chief executive officer of Legible. "His visionary approach to art and storytelling perfectly complements our mission to innovate within the literary world. Together, we are not just retelling Frankenstein; we are reimagining it for a new era."

FrAnkensteIn is not just a revival of a gothic masterpiece; it is a leap into the future of digital narrative. This ambitious project aims to explore the themes of creation, ethics and humanity that Ms. Shelley's novel famously wrestled with, using the very technology that epitomizes modern-day innovation: artificial intelligence.

This innovative project marks the third publication in Legible's celebrated AI-powered Classics series, following the successful releases of A Christmas Carol AI and Animal Farm AI. By teaming up with Mr. Camerota, whose eclectic portfolio spans film, photography and digital art, Legible ensures that this version of Frankenstein will captivate readers with its unique blend of classic narrative, modern aesthetics and unique innovations created by the artist.

FrAnkensteIn is set to launch in the third quarter this year, with previews and exclusive content being made available in the lead-up to the release. The living book will be available exclusively on Legible's website both as an a-la-carte purchase and to members of Legible Unbound, which provides unlimited access to a vast curated catalogue of e-books and audiobooks in multiple languages for the low monthly fee of $10 (U.S.).
