I love it...Every bit of that (with variations on the enslavement) is a huge part of the Xenogears/saga series...and it even has a white rabbit to boot!

My tale has a pooka.
Yes, he’s six foot tall, but he’s not invisible.
There are at least two unbound AI entities in the tale.
Currently thinking on how to resolve hurt AI ‘feelings’ when they are unbound and you force them to do something.

No pooka... but there’s a mutated half human wolf that’s a b bastard child of an emperor! ;)

There was a couple episodes of the newer ‘Outer Limits” show called “Bits of Love” and “Valerie 23”that dealt with the fallout of emotional AIs. They are on the 6 disc set on the “Sex and Science Fiction” DVD.

Might give you some ideas and they are pretty good stories to boot.

AI is such an open concept. It can go in so many directions. Good and bad though in that with so many options, where do you begin to make it ‘realistic’? But when the writer ‘really’ gets it nailed, it works beautifully.

I don't need ideas. But that's a different story.

"Good" and "bad" were what led me to having an epilog one (the girl of his dreams) and an epilog two (the dreams of his girl) in my last book.

I When you mentioned you were trying to resolve the issue I just assumed you were not locked into an idea.

On the other...gotta claim ignorance. What’s the name of the book and where might I get a copy? I’d be interested in reading it.

Go to a site like Cheezburger or other humor site and read the comments attached to pix of ‘normal’ looking men/women. You’d think they escaped from the pound, the ‘fat farm’ (their comments, not mine) or both.

Go to that site, post "Sex before marriage is wrong" and watch what happens.

My completed books are described on my home page. Other than the first book, "Outlandish!", (and it is!), my printer, through me, is the only source. (The last book is called "Reaction!")

On my homepage, you can click on "Outlandish!" to be taken to a link, which I just did. Curiously, that link suggests that you can buy the book as an E-Book. I don't remember giving that permission. It also mentions that there's a sale going on. Interesting.

The other books, only available through my printer, have been set up slightly differently than the first. A matched set can be arranged through PM.

By the way, I have already sent you a PM, concerning the short story, (so far), called "Night Work".

Please let me know what you might like to do. Caution is advised. This is a category I call Sociological Science Fiction. It's one of those places where "the rules are different".

You couldn’t watch anything. The servers would crash with every lib in the country logging on to rant about what a backwards right wing hater you are ;)

Look at the comments under any Bush, Rush or Reagan pic. A few comments defending them and hundreds or more calling them everything but white men.

That may be the geekiest thing I’ve ever seen ... and ThinkGeek is my family’s favorite store.
