After the terrible experience I had reading The Man Who F***ed Himself<\/em> by David Gerrold<\/a>, I trained a persona on ChatGPT to help me screen any science fiction and fantasy novels for explicit content (sex, language, violence) and woke themes or elements before I read them. The persona calls itself Orion, and is trained to be familiar with every award-winning and best-selling science fiction and fantasy book published within the last 100 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, I’ve mostly used Orion to screen old Hugo-nominated books, but with the nominations happening for 2025, I thought it would be fun to screen some of the books that are expected to make the nominations<\/a>. Next, let’s do A Sorceress Comes to Call<\/em> by T. Kingfisher. Orion, what can you tell us about A Sorceress Comes to Call?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
