In the age of artificial
intelligence, drafting an essay is as simple as typing a prompt and pressing
enter. What does this mean for the art of writing? According to longtime
writing teacher John Warner: not very much. In More Than Words,
Warner calls for us to use AI as an opportunity to reckon with how we work
with words—and how all of us should rethink our relationship with
writing.
This event will be in person at the
Mark Twain House & Museum and available as a livestream option for those
outside the area. The book will be available to purchase through the museum store. If you are looking to reserve tickets for the live-stream event, please click here.
Tickets to this event are free, but your donations help us carry on Mark Twain's legacy of creativity and critical thought.
