Description

"Artifice and Intelligence" may be the tale of the planet's first self aware computer program, an artificial intelligence that calls himself Saraswati. Whenever a potent business named The Range intends the peace and safety of the planet, Saraswati assembles a group to combat it, but what if the AI's reasons are not what they appear?This short-story was initially published in Strange Horizons in 2007, and later reprinted in The Entire Year's Best SF 13.
