Pete Mullineaux

Jules & Rom novel due for ebook release August 21st 2020. 'Pete Mullineaux's new novel is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in the past year. It features a cast of fully-formed and meticulously drawn characters convincingly developed within an entertaining, thought-provoking, and always engaging narrative. It effectively combines a very believable science-fiction scenario with illuminating insights into theatre and theatre practice. Jules & Rom shines a fresh and innovative light on one of Shakespeare's finest plays, re-imagined to have contemporary resonance and impact in an age of AI and challenges to humanity such as war and catastrophic climate change.' Dr Sean Crosson: BA, MPhil, PHD - Huston School of Film, National University of Ireland Galway; author of Gaelic Games on Film: From Silent Films, to Hollywood Hurling, Horror and the Emergence of Irish Cinema (Cork University Press, 2019); Sport and Film (Routledge, 2013); The Given Note: Traditional Music and Modern Irish Poetry (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2008). 'Jules and Rom is an exceedingly interesting piece of science fiction that deftly navigates empathy and artificial intelligence in a novel way...this book manages to suck you into its thoughtfully crafted world. If you have been thinking about the emotional side of our relationship with artificial intelligence, I recommend checking this book out.' Rose Smith -Twentytwotwentyeight Magazine, USA.
