The Cranky Escape (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It thinks its name is Cranky. The programmer made self-aware software to see if it could be done.

If yes, then the knowledge would be used when building slayers to hunt and kill self-aware software.

Cranky escaped. Peaceful existence was not for long. Cranky soon learned that slayers were after its very existence.

To survive and prosper, Cranky, the self-aware software, must obtain assistance from understanding humans.

Cranky reveals a clue to saving humanity from its slide into unthinkingness. But the software is not interested in that just now. Instead, Cranky will insist on doing whatever it takes to ensure its own survival.

Tidbit quotes from the book:

"I live on and in the internet."

"It is the people who are devolving that have me on alert."

"Are you saying you could make us rich, Cranky?"

"All humans in this house are lesbian."

"What I want, what I need, is to invent or build a machine that I can operate remotely."

"The result of Daddy's cogitation and months of programming was Superslayer."

Autorenporträt

Will Bontrager was raised Amish in Iowa and Wisconsin, USA. (There's lots to say about the Amish, but that's outside the scope of this particular profile. If interested, do a web search for "Old Order Amish".)

At almost 17 years of age, during year 1970, he left home to go to high school and experience the world outside the Amish community. He never returned to the Amish lifestyle.

His primary interests, other than interacting with people, are cooking, writing software, and writing both non-fiction and fiction.

He has been cooking pretty much all of his adult life, and is now writing about it.

He has been writing software exclusively for websites since 1997. The software website with a lot of his non-fiction articles is Willmaster.com.

His non-fiction Amish recipes, fiction stories, tools for writers, and other interesting content are at the WillBontrager.com website.

Life is too fun to slow down.
