Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The problem addressed by the story is a real one; how do we make people comfortable interacting with computer systems that exhibit some form of intelligence. The proposed solution is an interesting one, and the ultimate meaning of the name "allopreen" is amusing.
Con: There is barely a story here.
