This second work is a sci-fi, light satire, maybe closer to humour. It’s me poking fun at the belief that artifactual intelligence will somehow improve human life. I certainly don’t believe that AI will enhance life as I can’t see how a faster internet connection is going to make our collective future shine. Speaking of the sun, I can’t see how building solar powered creations out of fancy polymers will make us a better species either. But I could be wrong about that.
The novella tells the story of a young robotics engineer who has dreamed her whole life of a sentient robot that will help guide humans to intergalactic peace. Her idea stems from a philosophy by a scientist that calculated that shortly after his lifetime this robot would come into being, and being so perfectly mathematical in its thinking it would look for balance and seek peace as the proper order of things. Life throws our young protagonist a curve ball when the sentient robot is not even close to what she thought it would be.
