News about Stieg Larsson

According to a leading crime blogger, AI can be used by the world's best-loved authors to help write their books 'within a few years'. In the new thriller in his detective story, Ajay Chowdhury admits he has already turned to the technology to help his hero. He also used ChatGPT to speed up research and creating story suggestions, while AI editing software was used to raise the tempo and 'jazz' in his prose. According to him, the process cut the time it took to get a 'decent draft' to his publisher by a third. His confession comes as thousands of writers are fighting the technology, which they allege is using their words without permission or credit.

Since his first book, The Bat, was published in Norway in 1997, he has sold 55 million books, 13 of which portray his legendary detective Harry Hole, have been translated into 40 languages. He appeared in the United Kingdom eight years ago, early in 2005, during the emergence of the Nordic noir wave that featured drama series The Killing and Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He has appeared on the bestseller charts seven times since then.
