BOOKS

Mr. Jenkins writes Speculative History, but that implies a re-write of the past to fit a favored plot. Instead, his robot stories do not re-write the past. They re-write the future. Modern fiction has painted a somewhat warped account of the robot future that begs to be adjusted.

Diary of a Robot

Dr. Maynard Little, an Army Major turned inventor, develops a truth-seeking AI robot which succeeds because it learns like humans do, but it also fails because the machine proves to be an annoying free moral agent. Must Doc tell lies to protect it?

Why does “AI”

always stand for Artificial Intelligence instead of Artificial Insanity or Artificial Idiocy?

What if “AI”

was not dangerous, and the initials stood for Annoying Intelligence instead? Fixing all that seemed like a good idea. So, someone did.
