Robie Trites asked L.E. Modesitt Jr.:

Would you consider making prequels, with completely different characters for the Parafaith war series? What if you highered a ghost writer, or partnered with another writer to build the world? Perhaps, the books could operate from the perspective of different planets, civilizations, and likely a few individuals. Given the rise of AI into writing, is it possible integrate more ethics into our world?

L.E. Modesitt Jr. The way I write makes it difficult if not impossible for me to use ghost writers. The one collaboration that I wrote --THE GREEN PROGRESSION -- was only possible because Bruce and I worked for the same consulting firm at that time and we both knew the political and regulatory background.

I'm afraid that I'm too much of a lone wolf to want to deal with collaborators or ghost writers.

As for integrating more ethics into our world, that's not an AI problem. AI, like all technology, is a multiplying force. If a society has a strong ethical code, AI will amplify those ethics; if the society is dominated by power and greed AI will amplify them.
