This video is about a short story by Roald Dahl written in 1954 which speaks about the fictional idea of a text-generating machine. We will recognise these ideas as no longer fiction. Dahl does a good job of predicting how such a machine would impact culture and in this video I go through the story and share my thoughts.

As mentioned in this video, Dahl held some racist views and his legacy is not without criticism. Read about his family's public apology here: roalddahlmuseum.org/our-story/anti-racism-statement
