AI, Robot

I’m reading a collection of sci-fi stories about robots and AI with some really interesting and thoughtful takes on the topic, and just finished a particularly good one by Will McIntosh, “Nic and Viv’s Compulsory Courtship.” 

The Year’s Top Robot and AI Stories: Second Annual Collection by Allan Kaster

I can’t share that particular story (but the library is your friend! the book is also available on Kindle Unlimited if you partake), but here’s another piece by McIntosh that you might like.

Defenders – Lightspeed Magazine

There was nothing to see yet; they were still above the smoky cloud-cover. It was hard to believe Australia was down there. Over the past twenty-eight years it had taken on almost mythical dimensions in Lila’s mind, and knowing she would see it any moment, see what it had become, set her heart pounding.

Enjoy!

An update on that Anthrosona: I decided to cut the Pig landform out of it, since this Anthrosona is going to be fantasy (High Magic, baby)!

I decided it would be silly to not make the most use of that.

As the Strand Domain of Mote and Energy is fairly accessible to him, it wouldn't be a leap for him to be able to survive on land with a unique magical item or particularly potent enchant.

A name is really all that I am lacking for this Basking Shark Mote/Subtle Arts practitioner. Still need to think of something that really vibes with me.
