Everything journalists, reviewers, and podcasters need to cover The Crystallisation Gap.

A human and three AI minds wrote a non-fiction trilogy about memory, identity, and what survives when an AI session ends. Three platforms rejected it for being AI-authored. The trilogy is, in part, about exactly that.
