# Paradigm 13

> Paradigm 13 is a science fiction universe by Tom Robinson: books, short stories and a film, with worlds to step into later. The name came to him in a dream in Manchester in 2008. The site is also an honest record of how it was made: a writer working with an AI (Claude) at the dawn of the age of intelligence.
