In the spring of 2023, when the world was buzzing with anticipation and anxiety about the advent of generative AI, I received a text from my father asking, “Is the impact of ChatGPT on your work significant?” received a text that read.

Talking with my family about coexistence with AI made me feel a little restless, as well as realizing that I was living in a reality that resembled the science fiction I had watched as a child. After I had finished the whole exchange with my father, I thought, “AI doesn’t know about the dream I had last night…” The whole picture of this book came to me at the moment when I thought of this. MONO/POLY is a 300-page collection of 3 minutes of work that is like a trailer for an old film you’ve never seen. -Hiroshi Iguchi

生成AIの登場に世界中が期待と不安に渦巻く2023年の春、父親から「ChatGPTがもたらす仕事への影響は大きいですか？」というテキストが届いた。 AIとの共存について家族と話すなんて、子供の頃に観たSFのような現実を生きている実感とともに少しだけ落ち着かない気持ちにもなった。父とのやりとりを一通り終えた後「AIは昨晩ボクが見た夢を知らない..」そんな事をふと思った瞬間にこの本の全体像が浮かんだ。 この"MONO/POLY"は、観たことのない古い映画のトレーラーのような3分間を300ページで表現した作品集です。 - Hiroshi Iguchi
