Bot

Imagine you are a well-known writer and are asked for an in-depth interview. You are to provide insights into your interests and intellectual preferences, the prerequisites and backgrounds, as well as the motives and themes of your extensive body of work. Now, imagine you can't think of anything, no matter how hard you try. Then someone else has to speak about you. But who should that be? Who knows enough about you and your books? In the case of the writer Clemens J. Setz, an alternative was found. However, it is not a natural person who is answering questions, but a kind of artificial intelligence, his electronic diary comprising millions of characters - the outsourced soul of the author, in short: a Clemens Setz bot. And what the interviewee himself could not articulate in a verbal conversation is expressed in this work.
