Irvine Welsh calls ‘Men in Love’ an antidote to hate, criticises AI and social media
Irvine Welsh's new Trainspotting sequel, "Men in Love," explores the rave scene of the late 80s and early 90s, revisiting Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie. Welsh describes the book as an "antidote" to the current climate of "hate and poison," drawing parallels between the 1980s economic downturn and today's uncertainties. He expresses concern over job security, dystopian trends, and existential threats like climate change, criticizing AI, corporate internet control, and toxic social media.
