Realistic Finnish space sci-fi, translated to English with AI
A series of "realistic" space sci-fi stories written in Finnish by the author and his wife for over 20 years, now being translated into English with AI, with the quality starting to reach a publishable level. The stories skip space battles and wars in favor of a slower, more philosophical style in which light speed is the limit and interstellar travel takes centuries.
What it addresses
There are many small languages in the world and translating from them used to be extremely expensive; AI now makes translating the Finnish stories into English viable.
