Because of the second word, we expect A.I.s to be intelligent. But in his satirical, and somewhat cyberpunk #SciFi novel 'Mal Goes To War,' author Edward Ashton (Edward Ashton) has an A.I. that makes mistakes. To find out why, check out this Q&A.

While some of it didn't connect for me (usually for structural reasons), this was mostly a really good and emotional collection of #poems .
