Alycia Calvert is a neurodivergent emerging author from the desert southwest. Her lush little stories blur the line between poetry and fiction and always have a speculative bent.
Alycia Calvert writes: “I’ve been thinking about the difference between Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Consciousness, and how we misconstrue the two. I just finished Inés Estradas, Alienation and can’t get that concept of technology as producing an alternate reality while simultaneously destroying a possibility of existing in a natural reality.
