The person behind the worlds.

T. Pedersen

Author, creator and creative director of The Unbroken.

I work in technical sales. Outside that working day, I explore what I can create with AI. The Unbroken began with the wish to make something of my own, inspired by the games I loved growing up. But the story began to matter more to me than the game design.

We changed the rules of the project. Through writing, questioning and working together, we discovered the kind of fiction we wanted to make. The books grew out of that process, and we have learned a great deal along the way.

I want to understand how things work, and I like challenging an idea until it makes sense. That matters in these worlds too: magic can be extraordinary, but it should not be an excuse for events that do not follow from the world or the people in it.

I develop fantasy and science fiction because there are stories I would deeply want to read myself. Building those worlds has become a creative practice I want to keep exploring.

What the AI actually does

AI contributes directly to the prose writing, development and production of these books. This is substantive work, not only proofreading.

Human

Direction, the world, characters, decisions, review and final editorial calls.

AI

Substantive contribution to prose, development and production; image generation for visual material, including the interactive story's style study.

The interactive segment is written the same way. None of the imagery is presented as hand-drawn. Saying so clearly matters more to us than looking more conventional.
