Welcome. Not a big Star Trek fan (never got into it), but this back and forth is interesting). Only thing at all related to science fiction I'm reading (or, rereading) right now is "Other Worlds Than This." Parallel universes really fascinate me now). Also, and I don't know how I missed seeing that... I did read "The Golden Compass" years ago, and enjoyed it. I've heard most movies based off books are not as good as the books themselves. And it bothers me too when people are pretending to be happy all the time. Just show emotion... why hide what you feel? It just seems forced anyway depending... I have started reading some science fiction online; her name is Teresa McLaughlin (that's the main one; I first found her on Facebook, then Scriggler; she's on Twitter as well). Reply #147.

Anytime. Busy time for me as well, with physical therapy and all; I'm trying to read more Braille as there was a time there when I thought I couldn't do it anymore. I've recently read a bunch of reviews for new novels coming out, and I will be doing more of that as viable links become available (my Screenreader fights with a lot of sites). I've sorta made morework for myself because I didn't feel safe writing the blogs I was here, so now I am writing one called "we are just people." There isn't much to it yet, but I'm hoping that will change soon As in, once we feel confident/safe, story reviews, etc., will be posted). Good day/night. Reply #149. Oct 30 17, 12:50 PM |

But what if we developed feelings for artificial intelligence? I am thinking of a piece of fanfiction we read (and are going to read again) entitled "Coming to terms." The basic premise isn't so much what you're talking about, but more "college students seeking ways to get out of housework/homework get artificial intelligence to "help" them. There are those who believe they are just machines; then there are those who subscribe to the belief they are more sentient. Then there's the "Uglies" series by Scott Westerfeld. Not artificial intelligence exactly... unless you count that these people have been enhanced (superhuman "specials" or "Special Circumstances"). Definetly society-based theme though. Kinda scary when you start considring it. Reply #151. Nov 09 17, 12:53 PM |

I agree about that projected power-crazy scenario, it puts in mind the saying, "with great power comes great responsibility." (one of those was in Spiderman, the movie, where Cliff Robertson's character, Uncle Ben, cautioned it to Peter/Spiderman.) On another note, it was actually Gary Lockwood who portrayed Gary Mitchell.

You're welcome, it's funny that we posted the same minute. I would like to be able to post more freely, but I'm sure that I'd make even more mistakes. One can express more creatively I think, when they're not too worried, a balance is the key. Anyway, I enjoyed your post. Reply #158. Nov 22 17, 3:04 PM |
