Just looking at yer web page.

I don't know if you want fiction, but there is beacoup truth in it and
it should not be overlooked. Off the top of my head, I would recommend
Isaac Asimov's Robot novels to go under the category Artificial
Intelligence. He forces the reader to consider the analogy between
their own mind and a mind bound by the three laws of robotics, i.e. an
enslaved mind.

In case you haven't read Asimov, the three laws are, in order of
priority and paraphrased:
1.Through action or inaction on the part of the robot, a human life
must not be taken.
2.Through action or inaction on the part of the robot, the robot must
not be destroyed.
3.Through action or inaction on the part of the robot, a human command
must not be disobeyed.

Thanks, I enjoyed your page.
