Kendric Tonn shows off the physical advance reading copy of his novel The So-Called Memoir of Luca Durante — 244 pages, Volume I of II, with ISBN and full back-cover blurb about a merchant-banker in an alternate classical Mediterranean. The typeset pages, engravings and footnotes read like a professionally human-authored book, and generativist amplifies the point: it feels very much like a book someone wrote — as indeed it is, with AI in the loop.
