Nooooo! 😠I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.
When mutilated bodies begin turning up in Hollywood and the police are baffled, the young wizard Wydrune and his band--a beautiful cat burglar, a Cockney punk possessed by the spirit of Merlin, and Camelot's last survivor--take the case
No but William Gibson does have a bunch of near future novels that i recommend
I think with ChatGPT and Tinder getting in bed together recently as well as advertisers creating their own AI influencers, the book Idoru is probably a pretty decent read for anyone who wants to give him a try

I've read some stories with questionable world building, but this is something else.

It reminded me of a strange book I read when I was young, an 80s sci-fi I think was called "the wizard of sunset strip"
I'd have absolutely believed this could have been a book by them

It's fake but someone should use chatgpt to make it a thing.
