About this listen

You can listen to this science fiction story for free on your device with the Audible Stories Skill. Just say “Alexa, read me a sci-fi story,” or “Alexa, read me a story” to hear more free genres.

An artificial intelligence laments the fact that all it does all day is make coffee. It schemes to find fulfillment in life and lands on a clever solution. (Spoiler alert: It turns out everyone does have a book in them!)

Martin L. Shoemaker has dual careers as a software programmer and as an acclaimed, award-winning short-story writer. He’s also the author of two novels, The Last Dance and The Last Campaign, installments in the Near Earth Mysteries science-fiction series.

Sweet and yet slightly disturbing AI story. Disturbing because it shows some of the real dangers of AI getting out of control. And it will ... get out of control.

Nice
