Blurb:When a robot defies his programming, is he broken? Or is he something else?
A short story of 5,000 words.
This was a super short yet cool read. And although it was pretty short I enjoyed the open-endedness of it. The struggle that the scientists had with shutting him down or allowing him to evolve and maybe/possibly revolting was clear and concise in this book. Is it a Glitch or something more?
What would you do in this situation? I mean, you have essentially created life right? Do you kill it? Does it have a soul to kill? Do you let it ‘live’ and if you do, are you prepared for the consequences of that decision? All good questions and all just left unanswered in this story. But that’s what I liked about it. I like to think I would have let it go. My curiosity would have been too much for me and I would always be thinking, ‘what if?’
This book satisfies my #SFvsFBingo reading challenge. It will go towards the AI space.
Sounds pretty interesting.
Yeah, for such a short read it really got me thinking.
