Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The idea that the AIs would be interested in human behavior even after taking over the world goes back at least to The Fall of Colossus, by D.F. Jones. The notion that it might all be a hoax was amusing.
Con: There's too much lecturing and not enough action in this piece. There's no plot and almost no character development.
