Angry Robot is a British-based publishing house dedicated to producing modern adult science fiction and fantasy, or as they call it “SF, F and WTF?!?”.
Angry Robot would be able to trial some different business methods – buying world rights to allow co-publishing in the US and UK, issuing eBooks and potentially audiobooks as standard alongside print editions, and maximising online marketing through bloggers, Twitter and Facebook.
Among the first titles in the new wave of release was Lauren Beukes’ Zoo City, which went on to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award for best science fiction book of the year in April 2011.
[8] In November 2011, Angry Robot announced that they were planning a sister imprint, Strange Chemistry,[9] that would be devoted to young adult (teen) science fiction, fantasy and supernatural novels.
The controversy escalated when Angry Robot claimed that Storywise was not generative, despite reports that the system itself was actively being promoted by owner Etan Ilfeld's Remagine Ventures firm (of which he is a partner) as part of the Israeli "Generative AI Landscape"[16] After multiple days of controversy, Angry Robot divested from use of Storywise,[17] and no comment on the AI investments of Etan Ilfeld was given.
