“[A] must-read text for all those interested in the emerging relationship between AI and art […] placing it within a historical and theoretical framework rooted in our cultural, political, and economic past. […] Navas’s book is undoubtedly an important step forward in the AI debate, and the notion of metacreativity a valuable tool.”
