The Pub Gardeners

When AI steals away their careers in advertising, two desperate creatives, Darlington and Waverley, steal a van full of gardening equipment from the scene of their final ad shoot, and search for new meaning to their lives which, being English, means they head to the pub. In the Dog & Duck they find a business on its knees, threatened with closure by a new, cheaper local venue that's stolen all their regulars away.
Seeing a mirror image of their own struggle in the dire situation the Dog & Duck's landlord is facing, Darlington and Waverley vow to help save the pub in any way they can, but soon find that in a lot of ways, they can't. THE PUB GARDENERS highlights the negative impact AI is having on the lives and careers of creatives. It's the latest, and perhaps the most light-hearted Anti-AI story from the keyboard of Jon Lymon, a copywriter turned author who's determined to remove all AI from the creative arts, a world in which machines are most assuredly very unwelcome.
