AI guzzled millions of books without permission. Authors are fighting back.
David Baldacci, the author of best-selling legal thrillers, watched his son ask ChatGPT to craft a plot in the style of a David Baldacci novel. Within five seconds, he told U.S. senators at a hearing this week on artificial intelligence and copyright, the chatbot spat out a pastiche of characters, settings and plot twists that were uncannily familiar.

From New Zealand to new sights: April's must-read list
Strangers in Time by David Baldacci (Macmillan) is a change from this author's normal novels, being an historical fiction piece, but is no less gripping than any of his other books says our reviewer. Set in WW 2, during the Blitz in London, three people accidentally become engaged with one another… and each has secrets. Molly's father is a wanted man who has disappeared, Charlie is orphaned and living on his wits and the brilliantly named Ignatius Oliver who runs a bookshop appears to be passing information to an enemy agent. The danger and fear of death is pervasively detailed and the book evokes what it must really have been like to survive in such dreadful circumstances.
