A.I. Is a Crapshoot |
| | Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 16 (1954) / int_420c50b7 |
comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Alfred Bester's "Fondly Fahrenheit": The android is usually obedient to the human owner, but it will occasionally turn murderous and thus force the two to flee again. The attacks turn out to occur only on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit because of a disorder in the android's glands. As for the murderous streak, it may just be killing those who Vandeleur wants it to kill. |
