En ny författare har gjort entré: robotförfattarens inträde i det svenska kulturlivet

Sammanfattning: This paper examines a new form of literature, namely robot-authored literature, and its status in the Swedish society with a certain focus on the cultural field. Combining a qualitative method with a quantitative, I have interviewed four different persons with different point of views and responsibilities concerning robot-authored literature. I have examined the status of the robot-authored literature and how it is handled in two Swedish online bookshops and two libraries, one research library and one public library. My objective has been to investigate whether the robot-authored literature is gaining ground in the Swedish cultural field or not. Robot-authored literature arises a whole lot of questions and discussions, political as well as economical, practical and philosophical. The questions discussed in this paper are but a few of many.
