Pelagic Creatures is a personal essay newsletter that uses long-form cultural and historical writing to examine artificial intelligence, drawing on the history of intelligence, language, and science fiction. Readers get literate, opinionated commentary on AI's origins and its utopian and dystopian imaginings rather than news updates.
