Soma Mei Sheng Frazier's debut novel Off the Books addresses the Uyghur genocide and earned rave reviews from The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Publisher Weekly. Her essays and interviews have appeared in People Magazine, Electric Literature, Literary Hub, and Radio Free Asia. She is the founder of Subnivean and teaches at SUNY Oswego. 

About the theme of A/I: Artistic Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence, she said: “AI is like a Swiss Army Knife: It’s a tool with many uses, some life-saving, some life-ending, some we’re still figuring out.”
